The benefits of dyslexia are many. It is a lifelong learning disability that affects the ability to read, write, and understand. The effects of dyslexia can range from learning disabilities to learning disorders to a combination of the two. Children with dyslexia tend to be low achievers in school.
Other Impacts of Dyslexia
A child with dyslexia may also experience stress, depression, anxiety about math and spelling, and problems in concentrating. Learning disabilities and disorders such as learning disorders, dyslexia, and autism are often combined with other disorders or conditions. Learning disabilities, dyslexia, and autism can be combined with other learning disorders such as sensory integration deficit disorder (SIDD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), and specific language disorder (SLD). Specific language disorder includes communication, academic, and social issues. Other conditions that may co-exist with dyslexia are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Asperger’s Syndrome. When these conditions are combined with dyslexia, the results can be devastating.
Dyslexia Reading Programs can help children to overcome this problem slowly and systematically.
Benefits of Reading Programs in Dyslexia
The main goal of dyslexia reading programs is to teach the reader to read and comprehend information faster. The dyslexic child should be able to concentrate for long periods, retain their attention and concentration for an extended amount of time, and should be able to repeat the information they have learned from the program.
Dealing with Complex Learning Disabilities
A combination of reading, spelling, and comprehension activities is usually a successful program, but if all three of these conditions are present in combination, it is called “Complex Learning Disabilities.” Many programs combine these three conditions. The main goal of dyslexia programs is to teach the reader how to work with each of these three areas to understand the entire information in the material they are trying to learn.
The many benefits of dyslexia reading programs include improving the child’s comprehension and retention of information, teaching them to recognize patterns and order and structure, improving their attention and memory, concentration, attention to detail, and spelling/or grammar. The benefits of dyslexia reading programs can be lifelong learning and lifelong support.
The benefits of dyslexia reading programs can also include information and counseling services. A dyslexic child with a low-grade point average or poor scores on standardized tests has been identified by the school as having trouble with reading and may benefit from such services as individual counseling, personalized instruction, parent support, and professional development. If a child has a family history of dyslexia, then a referral to a Dyslexia Center may be beneficial.
