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.
