Below are some of the common questions we come across relating to dyslexia, SpLDs and the assessment process. If you have any questions that are not answered here or you want more information about the services we provide please use the contact page.
What are the common signs of dyslexia?
About 60% of dyslexic people have phonological difficulties and struggle to sort out the sounds within words. This means that they have problems with reading, writing and spelling. The majority of dyslexic children have difficulty with language, memory, organisation skills and sequencing processes of basic mathematics.
Is there a cure for dyslexia?
Each dyslexic person's difficulties are different and vary from slight to very severe disruption of the learning process. There is no total cure but the effects of dyslexia can be alleviated and overcome by skilled specialist teaching and committed learning.
On the positive side there is a hypothesis that the neurological anomalies also give some dyslexic people visual, spatial and lateral thinking abilities that enable them to be successful in a wide range of careers.
What are the causes of dyslexia?
Dyslexia is now firmly established as a congenital and developmental condition. Its cause has not been fully confirmed but the effect is to create neurological anomalies in the brain. These anomalies bring about varying degrees of difficulty in learning when using words, and sometimes symbols.
Dyslexia can also be acquired by people who have lost some aspect of their literacy skills as a result of brain injury or where an illness such as otitis media (glue ear) has impeded normal literacy skills development. Some cases of acquired dyslexia display unusual types of difficulties with literacy and therefore require careful diagnostic assessment and specialised teaching and support programmes. Very understandably, people with acquired dyslexia can be in need of a high degree of support and counselling. Their educational needs are usually long-term and the priority aim is for them to see themselves making progress.
How many people are dyslexic?
Approximately 10% percent of the population is thought to be dyslexic, with 4% being severely affected. It is estimated that there are about 375,000 pupils in the UK with dyslexia and a total of some two million people who are severely affected.
Why should I be assessed?
Diagnosis of dyslexia can be a huge weight off your mind and allow you to access the help and support needed. With better understanding and guidance, a person with dyslexia is more able to succeed.
Some regulatory bodies also require updated assessment information, for example eligibility for Disabled Students’ Allowance. Also, review assessments are useful to make judgements on rate of improvement and response to support programmes.
It is also important to understand that young children’s development can change relatively rapidly and therefore reassesment should take place in their teens to assess their current strengths and weaknesses to ensure that the support being given is relevant.
