Early Signs Of Dyslexia

It is very easy to understand that a parent of a child with learning difficulties will tend to place the blame on their self. If the child is having problems in or before school, it may be best to have a dyslexia test - an evaluation of dyslexia preformed on the child which will help determine some of the causes of dyslexia? and the treatments that might work best. Certain problems that are related to the speech and hearing problems may be the cause of some other symptoms associated with the dyslexia of some children. Reading, math, listening, following instructions along with speech problems can be some some prevailing early signs of dyslexia.

One of the early indications of dyslexia could be the often overlooked speech problems that may just be overlooked due to the age of the child. Problems of stuttering or a slight speech delay could be a simple but often misunderstood problem. A problem of processing and decoding the auditory input is thought to be the reasons of problems of reproducing the sounds . Cluttering which is a communication and speech disorder that makes it hard for the listener to understand, due to rapid speaking rates along with very erratic rhythms and poor grammar or syntax with either words or groups of words unrelated to the sentence.

Often speech therapy is recommended for the child with dyslexia. Clearly speaking can be a problem and full sentences are difficult. The sounds of the words with multisyllabic are often scrambled, for example hamburger may be hangaberg and spaghetti may be pronounced bisghetti. Trouble articulating certain letters may also be a early sign of dyslexia. The N, M, R, and L may be problematic letters. The "gween and wed" for green and red may still be used in the third grade.

Problems with some speech problems are linked to an auditory processing disorder. The way the brain processes the auditory information is the problem, this is not a hearing or sensory impairment. It is therefore understandable that if a child has a problem processing the hearing and speech, the problem would also be present in the reading abilities along with math as well. Part of reading requires the words to be spoken aloud.

There are several common shared problems with the speech/hearing deficits and the dyslexia . Confusion of opposites such as left/right and on/off are common. Learning the alphabet, naming problems, word retrieval, generating and identifying words that rhyme, counting syllables in words and learning the sounds of letters are a few of the common early signs of dyslexia. Also difficulties hearing, manipulating, and distinguishing the different sounds in the words are common. Placing the correct meaning with a certain word can be difficult. Keeping time or even the concept of time can be difficult. Difficulty with organization skills can present problems. With a fear of speaking incorrectly different children will be affected in different ways. One child might become a very loud bully and another child will become quite, withdrawn, and very shy.
