Click here to donate to the American Red Cross. Back to Learning Disabilities Messages First Last Author: 3babesforme Dec 4, 2004 , 6:50 AM (PST) Can anyone please help with my problem. My son is 7 years old and I believe he has dyslexia. Last year in first grade his teacher called a pac meeting because he was having trouble reading and writing in reversals, he never improved all year, and they wanted me to have him tested for dyslexia. Well I took him to the nureologist in September, my husband was unemployed due to being laid off from his job and we had no insurance when they wanted me to have him tested, so as soon as I got insurance we made the appt. for late september. They nuerologist wanted to have a nureophysc done witht he physcologist and when I made the appt. they told me they would not be submitting the insurance company and it was going to cost me 1500.00, I do not have that right now. So in the mean time I called every nuerologist in my insurance's book and they either don't have physcologists or they don't take children or deal with dyslexia. I have been so frustrated!

Extractions: Tutorials and Share New Ideas. Over the Last Year The beta-test phase never made it to launch. Initially, the advances we were making with some new ideas seemed so promising that we thought the beta testing phase would come swiftly. Always it seemed just out of reach of becoming a true replacement possibility for the current version. Letâs take a minute for those who might not be that clear on the steps of software development testing. After deciding on a concept, the developing organization starts with the software engineer and the various potential components prepared by the development team are coordinated, then there comes alpha testing where we in-house test for bugs and glitches as much as we can, followed by a beta testing where we ask a select group to seek and find anything we may have missed. Ideally, after a suitable period to allow beta testers time enough to thoroughly explore, development gets everything back to go over. Once development has addressed the reported bugs and solved all problems, a release version is offered. The development obstacles may have been solvable with enough resources. However, the funding criterion where we have applied for grant moneys didnât allow for this concept as a solution. Painfully apparent as it might seem, technically advanced solutions are still not as warmly utilized as one-on-one tutelage with the technologies of yesteryear such as print materials and the more marginally accepted video resources.

Extractions: Q. My nine-year-old granddaughter has been diagnosed with a mild dyslexic condition and is really causing a major uproar when it's time for homework. We know it's difficult for her to read but she becomes very upset if she has to be helped to repeat a word. It's become such a problem over the last three years that my daughter is ready to just stop trying to push her to keep up with her classmates and just let her fail. Is it better to push on a daily basis and ignore the outbursts or let her bear the consequences of her own failure to finish homework? A. Successful adults with learning disabilities (of which dyslexia is a type) will tell you that they are successful either because they had an incredible amount of drive, or that they had somebody in their lives who "pushed" them. They might use the word encourage instead of push, or they may say that they had someone who served as a coach or a mentor, but they often identify someone who took on the responsibility of helping them keep on track even when the going got rough. Successful teenagers with LD often talk about some adult (sometimes a teacher or a tutor or a parent or grandparent) who was able to weather their tantrums or outbursts and get them back into books. Your daughter needs to let your granddaughter know that she believes in her and knows that she will do better in time with the right kind of help. Mom just might not be the right person right now. Someone also has to help this nine-year-old understand that she is having difficulty reading because of the dyslexia, and not because she isn't smart. Her teachers, who work with her every day, are in a good position to send this message. It will also help if your granddaughter's teachers hold her accountable for getting her homework done. If she knows she is going to have to miss a part of recess or have to stay after school to get it done, this might help keep her on task. Teachers also have to give her a reasonable amount and type of homework.

Extractions: Give your children cod liver oil pills, but avoid fresh orange juice! This seems to be the message in these three articles/reports. John Bradford, William Ferguson and Dot outline what is known (or perhaps guessed) about the effects of diet on the many dyslexic children who also suffer from dyslexia and ADD or ADHD. Seems worth a try! Read this page in Spanish As part of our research program, Direct Learning examined the assessments of 100 dyslexic children and found that 46 of them were also reported to be suffering from Attention Deficit difficulties (ADD or ADHD) such as lack of concentration, behavior problems and/or allergic reactions to certain foods/drinks. Children and teenagers suffering from Attention Deficit Disorders find it hard to stay focused on the main thing they are dealing with: their brain finds it almost impossible at times to resist paying attention to something else which is of no importance: for example, someone walking across the room, another child dropping their pencil, a car passing outside. This is due to the working of the 'filters' in the brain which help us to prioritise and concentrate on one thing. The result can be difficulty sustaining attention, difficulty listening, a struggle to follow through instructions, difficulty with organization, avoiding activities requiring sustained mental effort, and being easily distracted and forgetful.

Most people, however, do not seem to realize the implications involved. If learning is a skill, then an explanation and a solution immediately becomes available for all the many children who battle with so-called learning disabilities. Read more Learning Disabilities Clarified: Learning is a Skill (Part Two) It is important to note that learning is a skill. In order to grasp the full import of this concept, it is vital that one should take cognizance of the different elements of a skill. In the second part of this article the elements of a skill are discussed.
