DYSLEXIA

(Fateh Najwan Bin Azman 9120536)


Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to my teacher, Madam Azlina and my
fellow friends. First and foremost, I feel truly honoured to give my speech today. On this
beautiful morning, I will share with all of you regarding an already known type of
disabilities, but not much we know about it. The topic that I will talk today is dyslexia.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Firstly, allow me to explain about dyslexia. It has been around for a long time and
has been defined in different ways. The U.S. National Institutes of Health defined
dyslexia as a learning disability that can hinder a person's ability to read, write, spell,
and sometimes speak. It is the most common learning disability in children and persists
throughout life. The severity of dyslexia can vary from mild to severe. The sooner
dyslexia is treated, the more favorable the outcome; however, it is never too late for
people with dyslexia to learn to improve their language skills. Dyslexia can go
undetected in the early grades of schooling. The child can become frustrated by the
difficulty in learning to read, and other problems can arise. The child may show signs
of depression and low self-esteem. Behavior problems at home as well as at school are
frequently seen. The child may become unmotivated and develop a dislike for school.
The child's success in school may be jeopardized if the problem remains untreated.
My respected audience,
There are several types of dyslexia that can affect the child's ability to spell as
well as read. The first type of dyslexia is trauma dyslexia. This type of dyslexia occurs
after some form of brain trauma or injury to the area of the brain that controls reading
and writing. It is rarely seen in today's school-age population. A second type of dyslexia
is referred to as "primary dyslexia." Contrary to trauma dyslexia, this type of dyslexia
is a dysfunction of the left side of the brain and does not change with age. Individuals
with this type are rarely able to read above a primary school level and may struggle with
reading, spelling, and writing as adults. Primary dyslexia is passed in family lines through
their genes. It is found more often in boys than in girls. The last type of dyslexia is
referred to as "secondary" or "developmental dyslexia". It is felt to be caused by
hormonal development during the early stages of fetal development. Consequently,
developmental dyslexia diminishes as the child matures. It is also more common in boys.
Members of the floor,
There is no medicinal treatment to cure dyslexia, as it is not a disease.
Nevertheless, there is a way to treat dyslexia. . The school will develop a plan with the
parent to meet the child's needs. If the child's current school is unprepared to address
this condition, the child will need to be transferred to a school, if available in the area,
which can appropriately educate the dyslexic child. The plan may be implemented in a
Special Education setting or in the regular classroom. Techniques designed to help all
the senses work together efficiently can also be used such as the Slingerland Method,
the Orton-Gillingham Method, or Project READ. Computers are powerful tools for these
children and should be utilized as much as possible. In addition to what the school has
to offer, there are alternative treatment options available. Although alternative
treatments are commonly recommended, there is limited research supporting the
effectiveness of these treatments. In addition, many of these treatments are very costly,
and it may be easy for frustrated parents to be misled by something that is expensive
and sounds attractive.
To conclude my talk, I would encourage all of us to take better concern about this
disability. There may be someone among us who had a dyslexic child but was forced to
learn the same way normal children do. Consequently, the child will be stressed and will
fail in their studies. It is our duty to spread the importance of identifying their child
among parents so that they can receive the right education. Last but not least, I would
like to give infinite thanks for lending me your ears.
Thats all from me, thank you.
