HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR DYSLEXIA OR LEARNING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN
Dyslexia or learning disabilities is a learning disorder characterized by
difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how
they relate to letters and words. Also called specific reading disability,
dyslexia is a common learning disability in children.
Dyslexia occurs in children with normal vision and
intelligence. Sometimes dyslexia goes undiagnosed for years and isn't
recognized until adulthood.
Causes--
Dyslexia has been linked to certain genes that control how the brain develops.
It appears to be an inherited condition — it tends to run in families.
These inherited traits appear to affect parts of the
brain concerned with language, interfering with the ability to convert written
letters and words into speech.
Symptoms--
Dyslexia symptoms can be difficult to recognize before your child enters
school, but some early clues may indicate a problem. Once your child reaches
school age, your child's teacher may be the first to notice a problem. The
condition often becomes apparent as a child starts learning to read.
Before school
Signs and
symptoms that a young child may be at risk of dyslexia include:
·
Learning new words slowly
·
Difficulty learning nursery rhymes
·
Difficulty playing rhyming games
School age
Once your child
is in school, dyslexia signs and symptoms may become more apparent, including:
·
Reading well below the expected level for your child's age
·
Problems processing and understanding what he or she hears
·
Difficulty comprehending rapid instructions
·
Problems remembering the sequence of things
·
Difficulty seeing (and occasionally hearing) similarities and
differences in letters and words
·
Inability to sound out the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word
·
Difficulty spelling
·
Trouble learning a foreign language
Teens and adults
Dyslexia
symptoms in teens and adults are similar to those in children. Though early
intervention is beneficial for dyslexia treatment, it's never too late to seek
help. Some common dyslexia symptoms in teens and adults include:
·
Difficulty reading, including reading aloud
·
Trouble understanding jokes or expressions that have a meaning
not easily understood from the specific words (idioms), such as "piece of
cake" meaning "easy"
·
Difficulty with time management
·
Difficulty summarizing a story
·
Trouble learning a foreign language
·
Difficulty memorizing
·
Difficulty doing math problems
Risk
factors-- Dyslexia risk factors include:
·
A family history of dyslexia
·
Individual differences in the parts of the brain that enable
reading
Complications--
Dyslexia can lead to a number of problems, including:
·
Trouble learning. Because reading is a skill
basic to most other school subjects, a child with dyslexia is at a disadvantage
in most classes and may have trouble keeping up with peers.
·
Social problems. Left untreated, dyslexia
may lead to low self-esteem, behavior problems, anxiety, aggression, and
withdrawal from friends, parents and teachers.
·
Problems as adults. The inability to read and
comprehend can prevent a child from reaching his or her potential as the child
grows up. This can have long-term educational, social and economic
consequences.
Children who
have dyslexia are at increased risk of having attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), and vice versa. ADHD can cause difficulty sustaining attention
as well as hyperactivity and impulsive behavior, which can make dyslexia harder
to treat.
