In describing Jules C. Abrams' reaction to dyslexia, we can see a hint of irony in the voice Spache takes: "Jules C. Abrams (1) is amused by the pendulum swings or fads in diagnosis of reading difficulty from 'personality conflict' to 'organicity' to 'perpetual handicap' to 'dyslexia'; diagnoses that ignore the interplay among the organic, functional, and environmental factors" (Spache 179). Spache's language choices in this excerpt, such as "pendulum swings," and "fads," as well as his mention of external factors, suggest skepticism toward the topic. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121943 "Treatments" for Dyslexia amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121944 There are 6 types of instructional emphasis. I call them strategies to learn through the disability, like any physical therapy you could receive to help regain strength in your elbow can possibly look the same in regaining strength to reading? ]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121944 Brain Damage? amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121945 Claims many actually brain damaged children learn to read will; bran damage at birth is seldom significant at maturity; intelligence, of one thinks of it as learning capacity, is not necessarily depressed by brain damage.

In short, brain damage is not the end all be all and I interpret this as the brain damage associated with dyslexia is not a devastating or terminal disability. It can be worked through, but we have to know more about it and find more ways to combat.]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121945 Signs and Symptoms of Brian Damage (p188) amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121946 Behavioral:

Wernicke's area is responsible for recognition of meaning and visual-spatial coordination. Broca's area impacts oral language and movement. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121951 Neurological Types of Dyslexia amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121952 There are several types of dyslexia, each forming when its corresponding part of the brain is damaged or dysfunctional. However, there are also some types of dyslexia that do not show up on brain imaging technology and are thus categorized under "psychological" rather than "neurological."

Neurological Types of Dyslexia:

-Surface dyslexia, also called visual-spacial dyslexia or dyseidetic-dyslexia, occurs when there is some damage to Wernicke's area, which is responsible for recognition of meaning and visual-spatial comprehension. Surface dyslexia is characterized by an inability to read words as wholes, visual confusion, or paralexic errors. They usually perform normally or above average in oral reading.

-Phonological dyslexia: People living with phonological dyslexia do well with whole-word comprehension, as long as the word is familiar to them. However, their neurological impairments in Broca's language area damage their ability to read orally or to sound words out phonetically.

-Deep Dyslexia occurs when the visual stimuli coming in through the occipital lobe doesn't follow the correct path through the various areas, but instead goes mostly to the right lobe, then Wernicke's area, skipping the left occipital lobe and the angular gyrus. Deep dyslexia is characterized by semantic paralexic errors and trouble with non-words, abstract words, and verbs. They tend to do fairly well with familiar words and nouns. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121952 Treatment for Dyslexia amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121953 Manzo & Manzo provide a list of indicators and reasoning for issues common with dyslexia. Unfortunately, I could not make out where the "treatment" for this indicators are. Spache did a better job of listing the six instructional strategies for dyslexia.]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121953 amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121956 - Gerstmann's Syndrome: (a rare neurological disorder that can occur as the result of a brain injury or as a development disorder)

1. the lost of the ability to express thoughts in writing
2. to perform simple arithmetic problems
3. to recognize or indicate one's own fingers
4. to distinguish between the right and left sides of one's body.

What is the differences between ADD and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)? According to Healthline.com, ADD is an outdated term which was once used to refer to someone who had trouble focusing but was not hyperactive.

It gives us a reason for student frustration and inability to process written language the same was a neurotypical student would. Without the classification, those students might be dismissed as being stubborn or lazy for "refusing" to read. With an understanding of dyslexia, we can discover solutions and help them learn to read anyway.]]> 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121959 In Just the Facts by The International Dyslexia Association, it is reported that dyslexia is caused by biological factors not emotional or family problems. However, emotional and social problems can be caused by dyslexia as children advance in school and are frequently placed in learning environments that do not match their learning style. amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121962 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121962 Just the Facts defines multisensory teaching as "simultaneously visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile to enhance memory and learning. Links are consistently made between the visual (what we see), auditory (what we hear), and kinesthetic-tactile (what we feel) pathways in learning to read and spell." amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121964 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121964 Orton-Gillingham Weekly amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121965 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121965 Social and Emotional Problems Related to Dyslexcia amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121966 2020-11-08 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121966 Problems with Social Relationships among Dyslexic Children amychendry https://padlet.com/amychendry/31xg1s33shzn01wv/wish/902121967 - may be physically and socially immature in comparison to their peers
