Dyslexia Symptoms, Definition and Diagnosis
Dyslexia is believed to be a neurological language processing disorder. Dyslexia symptoms usually include difficulty with written and spoken information. Dyslexia symptoms can range from mild to debilitating. In public schools dyslexia symptoms may be severe enough to qualify as a learning disability. However, not all school districts use the term dyslexia. Severe dyslexia may be called learning disabilities in reading or writing in your child's school.
Severe dyslexia symptoms may qualify for special education services. Specially designed instruction may be needed to address symptoms of dyslexia.
Further, students with dyslexia symptoms may have other receptive or expressive language or auditory processing difficulties.
Symptoms of dyslexia may include expressive language problems or disabilities. When reading aloud, for example, people with dyslexia may reverse words or parts of words. A dyslexic child may read the word bad as if it were dab. Word order and sounds may also be confused, by dyslexics, and words are often omitted or slurred over. The dog chased the cat down the street could become the gob chaled on the treats. Dyslexics may also reverse letters and words in written language. Mirror writing, a complete reversal of words, is sometimes present.
Dyslexia symptoms may also include difficulty with receptive language. Dyslexic people may not correctly perceive sounds or words. Whether reading aloud or silently or listening to spoken language, dyslexic students often cannot recall important details of what has been said or read. People with dyslexia may be unable to process material that is read to them and have difficulty explaining main ideas of material.
In speaking and listening, students with Dyslexia have difficulty pronouncing words, especially those with more than one syllable. Frequently people with dyslexia cannot repeat phrases that are spoken to them. They have difficulty gleaning the meaning from spoken phrases. Difficulty following instructions is also a symptom of dyslexia. Homonyms, synonyms, rhymes, and idioms are difficult for dyslexics. Dyslexics may also have problems with metaphors, similes, and other symbolic speech
