Current estimates suggest that around 10% of the population are dyslexic (The British Dyslexia Association ‘About Dyslexia’ 2019). It is now widely acknowledged that SpLDs occur across a range of intellectual abilities and are not linked to intelligence (Kormos 2017; Tanaka et al 2011). There is also a range of research that shows dyslexia has significant co-morbidity with a range of other SpLDs, particularly ADHD and dyspraxia, potentially increasing the types of difficulties these learners encounter (Broada et al 2012; Germano et al 2010; Pauc 2005). Dyslexic students are characterised in particular as having slow, disfluent reading and poor spelling compared to their peers. This phonological processing difficulty has been shown to occur across multiple languages including Italian (Ferrari and Pallidino 2007), Spanish (Lindsey et al, 2003), German (Landerl et al 1997), Polish (Lockiewicz and Jaskulskaa 2016), Chinese (Ho and Fong 2014) and Korean (Cho and Ji 2011). There is also evidence that dyslexia has a biological basis consistent across all languages. Paulseu et al (2001) make an argument for ‘biological unity and cultural diversity’ through comparing dyslexic and non-dyslexic brain scans in English, French and Italian speaking participants (Paulseu et al 2001, p.2165). They demonstrated that although the orthographic depth of the language being spoken affected the severity of the presentation of dyslexia, similar patterns of brain activity were observed across all participants suggesting that it was possible to discuss neurological processing patterns common to all dyslexics – although this study focused solely on alphabetic languages. 
Recently, studies on Chinese dyslexic students suggest that students who struggle to read in Chinese are using different parts of their brain than those struggling to read in alphabetic languages - research by Li Hai Tan (University of Hong Kong) found that Chinese struggling readers showed less brain activity in the area devoted to coordinating shapes, pronunciation and meaning (Pilcher H, 2021, Nature Magazine, Nature.com). This is different to the brain patterns observed in children struggling to read alphabetic languages. If the language requires different brain functioning to process and read, then the notion of being 'dyslexic' (suffering a significant impairment in learning to read and write with all other characteristics being normal) may in fact be different according to the language. English-speaking dyslexics may be experiencing a different processing issue to those struggling to read in Chinese or Japanese. 
Indeed, there have been documented cases of mono-lingual dyslexia - students diagnosed with dyslexia in either their L1 or L2 without significant impairment in both. For teachers working in international schools, where the primary teaching language is English, and the majority of students speak a different L1, it may be possible that students have dyslexia only in English, and therefore may be struggling with significant impairment for the first time without documentation or support in their L1. 

Additionally, dyslexia is a spectrum more than a discreet category. Simply because a student does not experience significant difficulties in reading and writing, they may experience other issues associated with dyslexia - such as executive motor functioning issues, short-term memory issues and visual processing. They may therefore still need support in terms of classroom instructions, presentation of material and time management. ]]> 2022-02-10 07:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciamargaritamanotok/Bookmarks/wish/2039644348 https://padlet.com/patriciamargaritamanotok/Bookmarks/wish/2039649028 https://www.nature.com/articles/news040830-5#:~:text=Brain%20regions%20behind%20reading%20difficulties,the%20causes%20vary%20between%20languages.

However, similar to China, students who struggle to learn to read Japanese may not be struggling for the same reasons, and may instead have more issues in visual processing.
There may also be studnets who can compensate when reading Japanese, but are unprepared for English when it enters the curriculum.

--> Give frequent feedback and attention to positive behaviour
--> Give warning when there will be a change to the routine or a transition between activities (helping students keep track of the time)
--> Be prepared to give students extra assistance and patience when transitioning between activities 

Assignments:
--> Pre-check assignment instructions to make sure all stages are clearly labelled, explicitly explained and clear to understand. Don't rely only on verbal instruction - back up with written and visual support
--> provide choices in how homework can be delivered. Does this have to be a written essay? Give students options to show you their understanding - e.g. verbal assignments, drawings, online quizzes etc)
--> Allow breaks and plan ahead in your class where breaks can be scheduled
--> Bring movement and exercise into the class wherever possible
--> Minimise distractions within the classroom
--> Help students use organisational tools - e.g. google calendar, homework folders, notifications etc

Speak to the student! Speak to them or their parents to find out more about their individual profile - what activities do they find most stressful, what distractions are there in class and what might help them?

Issues studnets may experience:
--> Over-reliance on counting in ones
--> Difficulty counting backwards 
--> Inability to estimate
--> Slow speed of working
--> Weak mental arithmetic (You need both short term memory - to remember to question - and working memory - to work out the answer. Both these skills are weaker in dyscalculic students. 

Recommendations focus on trying to make maths as physical as possible - using real items and using physical manipulation.
Repeat information multiple times, using structured review and revision to re-enforce ideas and concepts
Explain and show why
Show patterns explicitly - use colour coding or visuals to show consistent patterns
Show problems as much as possible - avoid mental arithmetic unless absolutely necessary, and when using it allow for extra time. Or let them use a calculator!
Don't rely on rote learning or memorisation

It's a condition where the brain is unable to coordinate physical movement.

Common issues:
--> Difficulty in handwriting
--> Struggles to use/move a mouse, touchscreen or keyboard
--> Difficulty in physical movements or coordination needed in P.E class
--> Difficulty in movements or coordination needed to pay a musical instrument 
--> Executive motor functioning issues - time management, planning or organisation, or sequence organisation (e.g. performing a set of tasks in order)
--> Balance and posture issues
--> Slowness performing tasks such as tying shoe-laces
--> Difficulties performing sequences of coordinated movements

Suggestions:
--> Practice routines and rehearse the order things will occur in
--> Use extensive planning - such as a google calendar etc.
--> Provide alternatives to written/typed assessments - e.g. voice memos or oral presentations
--> Allow more processing time, and devote class time to reviewing content, steps and instructions 
--> Provide appropriate writing tools - e.g. some students may require larger pencils/pens, or using rubber grips. Encourage the use of graph paper to guide their writing
--> Teach touch-typing to reduce the burden on their handwriting/note-taking
--> Provide breaks during the class and school day where students can release stress or frustration and physically move in other ways. 
--> Allow students to practice tasks that require fine-motor skills in advance (e.g. folding paper, or using scissors)

This article echos the sentiments of the above resources, stating how beneficial these technologies can be toward learners with disabilities like developmental displays, but then it goes on to highlight some of the barriers that actually come into play when trying to use these technologies. Things like, lack of appropriate training for staff, negative staff attitudes, insufficient funding, and difficulties procuring and managing equipment. These are all important things to keep in ming while researching this topic, because it just further goes to show that the existence of these technologies is just the first step-- there is a lot more that needs to happen before they can really help these students. ]]> 2022-02-12 11:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciamargaritamanotok/Bookmarks/wish/2043624485 https://padlet.com/patriciamargaritamanotok/Bookmarks/wish/2044401228 Why is it important to educate teachers, students, and parents on the tools available for hearing impaired learners?
