ABSTRACT
The term dyslexia can be used whenever a child or adult encounters unexpected difficulties in learning to read, write or spell, in spite of being offered ordinary opportunities to learn within a classroom. Some dyslexia children have very good memory, language or maths skills. But children who experience dyslexia are born with the difficulty. If Professionals suspect that their child may be finding reading and writing really difficult it is very important to ask their school for a proper assessment and to give their child extra support, understanding and encouragement. Research has found that dyslexic children learn best with structured step- by-step multisensory methods. Parents can help children with their difficulties by ensuring that the child does a small bit of reading and practice on most days. Obsessive-compulsive and repetitive behaviours often increase in intensity and frequency when a child is experiencing stress.
