Omdat er kennelijk veel misverstanden bestaan over dislexia heb ik even e.e.a. opgezocht op het WWW.
Deze informatie komt bij het "Dislexia Institute" uit Engeland vandaan. Dit instituut is een wereld-wijde authoriteit op dit gebied.
Graag deel ik deze informatie met jullie zodat er wat meer begrip komt voor diegenen die hier echt aan lijden, en in de hoop anderen (sommige onder ons) hierdoor deze handicap niet als excuus blijven gebruiken voor slecht taalgebruik en het achterwege laten van leestekens.
Kom nou niet meteen met krietiek. Je HOEFT het tenslotte niet te lezen. Het staat hier echter voor iedereen die NIET of niet precies weet wat dislexia is en er iets meer over zou willen weten, aangezien we op dit forum dus zeker wel met een aantal echte "dislexia patiënten" te maken hebben.
Helaas is het onderwerp in het Engels:

citaat:What causes 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.
What are the most common ways in which dyslexia shows itself?
About 60% of dyslexic people have phonological difficulties, that is, they find it difficult 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 and sequencing processes of basic mathematics.
At what age does dyslexia become a problem?
Because dyslexia is neurologically-based, children are born with dyslexia, but it is when they begin to learn using words and sometimes other symbols that it becomes a noticeable problem.
What level of intelligence does it affect?
Dyslexia can occur at any level of intellectual ability. It occurs in all socio-economic groups and can accompany, but is not a result of, lack of motivation, emotional disturbance, sensory impairment or limited opportunities.
Can dyslexia be cured?
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 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.
How many dyslexic people are there?
Somewhere between four and five percent of the population are severely affected..
Are girls and boys affected equally?
Recent research indicates that boys and girls are equally affected but DI data suggests that three times as many boys as girls receive additional teaching because of their dyslexia.
Does dyslexia cause behaviour problems?
Some dyslexic children have behaviour problems; these usually improve when the right kind of teaching for reading, writing, spelling and basic maths is provided.
Does having dyslexia mean a limited career future?
No! Each dyslexic person has his own pattern of strengths and weaknesses. Many enjoy lateral thinking abilities and shine in such fields as the arts, creativity, design and computing. What they need is to be identified and taught, to enable them to release their talents in wide ranging careers.
