Difficulties and Dyslexia by Ryan Fyfe

Dyslexia is a language-based disorder that is characterized by difficulty with decoding single words. This difficulty is normally a reflection of the individuals inability to properly phonological process words. It is important to note that dyslexia has nothing to do with any sort of visual impairment, and that they can severly hamper an individual’s ability to read.

Dyslexia includes the inability to: – Name letters – Read words and/or sentences – Recognize words directly (even if the individual can sound them out)

The different forms of dyslexia are most likely directly related to the different brain regions that are affect; most theories focus on the non-primary area that are located in the frontal lobe and temporal lobe of the brain. Dyslexia symptoms vary greatly on the area of the brain that is affected but any symptoms that lead to complications with the above listed inabilities are to be taken seriously. Originally Dyslexia was defined as “a difficulty with reading and writing that could not be explained by general intelligence”. One general way to test for dyslexia is to compare the reading and writing abilities of an individual in relation to their general intelligence and then taking that data and comparing it with a general population.

For a last quick note, there is a growing list of notable people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia. To name a few: Orlando Bloom(actor), Tom Cruise(actor), Walt Disney(producer), Albert Einstein(scientist), and even the gorgeous actresss Salma Hayek. Take a look at what these individuals have accomplished and don’t let dyslexia hold you down!

How are you going to know what your child needs?

Boarding Schools for Dyslexia – what are they and how can they help your child?

Our Boarding Schools are State Licensed intervention programs for troubled teens and adults who may be experiencing emotional, academic, and/or behavioral problems brought about by Dyslexia.

Instead of wreaking havoc on themselves and their families teens with Dyslexia will spend their days in group counselling, individual and family therapy, and learning how to interact with peers and adults in a meaningful and healthy way.

For their part, many kids find success at Dyslexia Boarding Schools by learning more about themselves and what drives their destructive behaviors. The teens are asked to specifically look at what’s going on in their lives and what kind of decisions they’ve been making.

Boarding Schools for Dyslexia provide the forum for struggling teens and young adults to evaluate their behaviors.

It’s their parents’ desperate hope that, once it’s over, they’ll get back the child they once knew.

Boarding Schools are different to military-style boot camps, which rely on humiliation and barked orders.

Not all Boarding Schools for Dyslexia are created equal.

The Family Compass will help you to make an informed decision when you choose to intervene on behalf of your child.

We have compiled a database of Boarding Schools. This is so you can find the proper treatment for your situation.
