Dyslexia, means "difficulty with
words" .Dyslexia or word Blindness may be covered when a child
learns to read. It is a disorder due to a flaw in the child¡¯s perception.
Great personalities like Einstien was also affected with Dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder where some disturbances
in brain functioning poses difficulty with one¡¯s ability to read.
These individuals typically read and write at levels significantly
lower than expected despite having normal intelligence.
Very often dyslexia used to be mistaken
for mental retardation now dyslexia is no longer an alien word where
5 to 12 percent of school children arte believed to be dyslexic.
As their perceptual ability is weak, numbers written on board do
not mean anything to them. Frequently, the problem is one of mirror
¨Cimage for example ,the alphabet "b" appears as "d"
or if inverted image where "p" is mistaken for "b".
Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics
among people with dyslexia are letter or word reversals when reading
or writing (such as pat/tap, b/d, p/q); difficulty in comprehending
written or spoken directions; difficulty understanding or remembering
what is said to them or what they have just read; difficulty expressing
their thoughts on paper.
Immediate memory or working memory
is an attribute of the brain that saves information and ideas we
are working with. Dyslexics have some functional impairment of brain
that poses difficulty in processing information and pieces of information
get lost on the way. This makes dyslexics take extra time to get
information across and complete the task. At the same time the memory
of the dyslexics tends to be exceptionally good, in fact many children
substitute memory for reading. They ask their parents or somebody
to read stories aloud to them, and memorize the text or the contents.
While the exact cause of dyslexia
is not yet known. But the recent studies indicate that the root
of this disorder lies in some genetic defects. This makes dyslexia
a constitutional disorder, as it is an outcome of a constitutional
problem (genetic factors). Poor schooling and health are aggravating
factors. While treating Dyslexia, the treatment needs to be planned
to focus at a root level that is to say to affect the genetic tendency.
Homeopathic treatment does that precisely. As the dylexics require
Awareness, Sympathy and Homoeopathy.
Homoeopathy is very strongly recommended
for management of dyslexia. Support therapy in the form of modified
teaching methods and the educational environment to meet the specific
needs of dyslexics will compliment the results of homoeopathy. Other
related problems are already mentioned in the book titled "The
Problem Child and Homoeopathy" By- Dr.A.K.Gupta, published
by B.Jain Publishers
