Learning Disabilities in Children

Introduction

In this paper, we will discuss the study presented by David S. Mather in relation to learning disorder in children and dyslexia, the partial functionalities of the brain and there observable results in writing. Dyslexia is a learning disability in which there is failure to develop appropriate language, especially written, that is, children have difficulty reading or writing, without which changes have occurred in the intelligence and any other problems that explain why of this difficulty. Parents may suspect this problem early (four to five years of age): the child has difficulty speaking fluently, to articulate words or memorize songs. It is also likely to have disturbances in perception: they identify the wrong body structures, nose confuse it with the ears, were difficult to distinguish between up and down, right and left, or invert the colors, among others.

Dyslexia is a disorder characterized by the fact that the brain misinterprets visual messages. It is not caused by vision problems, but rather a slight brain dysfunction. When light enters the eye, it passes through the pupil and strikes the retina, the photosensitive coat lining the back of the eye. The retina converts light into electrical impulses impressions which are transmitted to the brain. It then interprets the information and said about what he sees. In dyslexia, the brain may have difficulty processing information sent by the eyes, or he may receive the wrong information because of some defect in the transmission system.

At older ages (six to nine years), this alteration is more evident when children start to read and write, teachers or parents observe the child has difficulty differentiating the sounds and images of the letters, or words to that, the letter (p) confuses it with (q) or (b), (be) can be ...
