dyslexia

Ok so amoungst the PA Team and Support Team my spelling has become to be known as abit of a joke. However when I find myself writing things (and typing ofcs) I find that as far as my brain is concerned when I read things I am correct, that or I tend to get letters the wrong way round or not enough of them when there is a letter repeated (like tt in 'letter').

When I was a kid at school in year 7 I was told I might have mild dyslexia but not that bad. I have 20/20 vision says my recent eye test (1 month) ago, yet I am starting to again have all the same problems I had when I was younger.

Does anyone else suffer from this kind of thing and is there anything I can do or places I can contact to try to sus out / fix whats wrong with me?

I don't mind the piss takes on the spelling but it has made me realise there maybe an underlying problem.

Any thoughts anyone?

Re: dyslexia

I suffer from Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and a High Level Language disorder. If you go to your Universities Special Needs office when uni starts up again, they can give you the tests for it to see whats up

Re: dyslexia

So is dyslexia a requirement for support team then, or just a strange coincidence?

it was something i worked at because i felt bad every time I made a spelling mistake.

I didn't try in school because then it didn't matter. after school it mattered because retards would try to dismiss my point because it was incorrectly spelt.

We all just need the proper motivation.

We need to stop pretending that correct spelling comes easier to others than ourselves: it always takes effort. The word dyslexic means - 'I'm never going to try because I will always fail'. It's a useless word. A very destructive word.

Spelling is like dieting. There are no quick fixes and there is no excuse for not trying.

This probably sounds as retarded as it is, but are there any like "exercises" I can to do work at it. Alot of the time I spell a word wrong but don't see it until someone points it out to me. This being bacause I read letters backwards so it looks right when its wrong. Is there anything that can be done about it that I can work on myself?

Spelling wise I do try my best, taking forever, but I am trying

the only exercise that worked for me was listening to those annoying gits who correct you..

when someone points out a mistake you've made get pissed off: get angry. then you'll remember not to make it again

that's how I learned (keep learning)

Re: dyslexia

A Cambridge University study concluded that it doesn't matter what order the letters in a word are arranged. The important thing is that the first and last letter are in the right place. The rest doesn't matter. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.

For example:

Aoccrding to a reserach at Crmbaidge Univsreity, it dosen't mtater in waht oredr the letters in a wrod are. The olny ipmortant tihng is taht the frist and lsat lteter be in the rihgt palce.

The rset can be a tatol mses and you can sitll raed it wuthoit prlboem. Tihs is bscauee the huamn mnid deos not raed erevy letter by iteslf, but the wrod as a wohle.

Re: dyslexia

'Dyslexia' is a very silly idea. Take any average group of kids and it isnt really surprising that youre going to have a high degree of variance in their abilities; some might struggle to grasp arithmetic, whereas others may be terrible at drawing, and others might have reading problems. Students should be ideally be given extra attention in the areas where they are struggling and encouraged to work harder to develop these skills, but pretending that there's some innate 'learning disorder' holding them back helps noone. I doubt that there's any real difference between struggling when it comes to reading ('dyslexia') and struggling in mathematics.

I was always very bad at 'practical' subjects while at school, and my drawing/crafts/painting/etc skills were signficantly worse than those around me, despite my english/maths being a lot better. It would be stupid to invent some 'practical ability learning disorder' to describe this though - I was just good at some things and not at others, like most people.



Quite apart from the scientific dubiousness of the dyslexia idea, youve also go tthe potentially serious problem that having students and their teachers believing that they're suffering from some innate 'disorder' is likely to have an adverse effect on their work ("I'll never be any good at maths so theres no point even trying").

I think its almost certainly true that correct spelling comes easier to some people than others. Different people tend to be 'naturally' better at different things; I didnt put any extra effort into maths at primary/secondary school and rarely bothered doing homework or any extra-curriculur practice, yet I was still a lot better at it than those around me (including those who worked harder than I did). On the converse side, I was never great at playing musical instruments, whereas some people show ridiculously high amounts of talent in this area from an early age. It's highly unlikely that I could ever match the piano skill of a child music prodigy, regardless of how much effort I put in (music is an interesting example, because there's such a blatently obvious difference in 'natural' talent evident in childhood between certain great musicians and normal people). It's hard to say how much 'natural' talent matters in most areas though, because I do think people have an unfortunate tendancy to believe that others are only good at things because of some innate magically ability they have rather than as a result of hard work (its easier on the ego to believe people are better than you due to luck rather than because they put more effort in).

For most skills, it probably isnt important whether they come 'naturally' to you, which is probably why noone has bothered inventing a disorder to cover them. Not being to draw or play the violin is unlikely to have a serious effect on your life, so most people are content to just say "I'm not very good at art/music" and make no effort to develop their skills. But when it comes to something as important as reading/writing, you cant really do this; basic literacy is fairly important in most areas of life, so most people should be encouraged to keep trying their best to improve their skills in this area, even if they are 'naturally' less talented here than the average person and have to work a lot harder than others in order to reach a decent level.


(I've put the word 'natural' in scare quotes all through this post because I dont want it to sound like I'm saying that this sort of ability is necessarily determined by genetics rather than upbringing. But regardless of the initial cause, it does seem to be fairly obvious in many people by the time they're midway through primary school).

Maybe with young children, but one of the things I always found depressing about school is that I was forced to spend a lot of time working on subjects I seemed to have zero ability at (art & music). Obviously it's probably not a good idea to let people specialise completely at the age of three, but likewise it's frustrating to have your time wasted endlessly trying to get you up to some mythical "equal" level with everyone else when that's not really going to happen. Of course this is not to deny the importance of basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Yeah, although I suspect the main reason terms like 'dyslexia' get invented is to combat (or into) some notion of "general intelligence" which has plagued enquiry in this area for a number of years.

I think in general there's no ingherent problem with inventing terms for being especially bad at drawing / writing / reading / maths. Yes, people can react by treating these terms as excuses why they're not very good at x, but that's a problem which doesn't seem insurmountable.

I enjoyed the subjects I was less good at at school, I didn't find it particularly frustrating that others were better than me. In one way it seemed almost fair to me because they (at primary school anyway) weren't better than me at much else (academically). I also didn't really find it frustrating and it seems odd to me that you would think you did, is it that frustrating that your pictures don't turn out as well as some of the other kids'? In that situation I can't see anything unsatisfactory with just trying your best (however good that may be). Maybe it was different at your school but the teacher's didn't mind as long as we tried and it never really felt like a waste of time. If anything the areas in which you are worse at are more important than the ones you are weak in. What's the point of sitting in a 2 hour maths lesson when you could have answered any question relevant to it after the first 10 minutes and you have to sit around waiting for the teacher to explain it to the slow kids? I'd rather do some bad paintings or bang tunelessly on a cow bell.

Re: dyslexia

Well im a trainee teacher, and I personally feel that there is to much labeliing not with dsylexia but with ADHD and asperges syndrone. I think these are very real to some people as marv was saying, but to others it is simply a case of your aggro and misbehaving lets give you a title so its not your fault.

Also as Dante said people are good at some things and not good at others, I was good at science and maths hence im teaching them, i was honestly terrible at art, It looked like i was epileptic when i tried to draw so it was a waste of time me doing them lessons as simply put i was never going to improve, I accepted this so should the teachers instead of trying to label me with some disability

Re: dyslexia

no not at all marv, i simply said there is people who get labeled to confrom them into an acceptable society. Your not one of them, also you can get these cool things from doctors, its effectively like a stress ball, you squeze it with whichever hand you dont write with so when you do write its promotes concentration and higer learning when your writing so you make less mistakes.

A few kids at the school i teach at use them it seems to help them, eventually you stop squeezing the stress ball and you write/type perfectlly

just an idea

TOMKAT FOREVER AESTUOS NEVER

I never said i was an expert, in fact i stressed being a trainee teacher. Also i never said that my opinion was correct.

And to be perfectly honest KaneED, marv had a problem, i sugggested a way which might make it better, ripping my idea down is a little immature to be honest i was simply trying to help.

Also its good TomKat is a teacher, but saying that im a filthy takeover is unfair, you have no idea how good my teaching skills are so please dont comment on them. the country im in England struggles to find physics teacher and i believe the job i do is of a high quality and im helping people which is more than i can say for the majorety.

Basically dont comment on something which you know nothing about, ask TomKat, its a hard job teaching so dont slag people who do it, its hard enough.

So the ?sublect? you teach is science? So proper spelling of scientific terms is not important in the ?sublect? of science then? I'd also hope that because you're a teacher you would have a decent command of the English language regardless of whether you're in a rush or not...

Re: dyslexia

i just lost 130 rep points for not laughing or summet hmmm. Anyway i think any stress ball should work, but the best thing is to go doctors and ask them for advice, something can normally be done to help if not he will explain that its a common problem for people.

at least your trying to sort it out which is all that counts marv gl

gd is one of those places where if you miss the joke, and continue to post defensively you get punished usually.
either via humiliation, or neg reps - often a combination of both.

Re: dyslexia

Marv, as suggested, see your uni senco and they will be able to do certain tests etc.
dyslexia and dispraxia are very real, but unfortunetly, for most people, its not fully understood.
Indeed, I come across profesisonals every day that simply do not understand exactly what it is, and how to deal with it.

For instance, it is widley assumed it comes down to simply reading, but this is widely incorrect. You will find high incidences of individuals having difficulties dressing themslves.
Whilst sight IS tested, its not genrally the sight that is being tested, but dominant eye/hand, and again, these will offer differ in Dyslexic children.

There are exercises you can do, though I believe its not been proved they can aid an improvement, mentally I personally believe they can. Its all based on cross over activites that use both sides of the brain, to strengthen the link between both left and right sides.

Whilst I admit I dont have any experience working with adults of which dyslexia and dyspraxia is an issue, i ahve worked with children with the same condition for 10 years now, both in supporting the children concerned, and testing all children who are suspected of having any learning issues.

Feel free to dop me a pm, or you can find me in #poker

Re: dyslexia

My youngest son is dylexic. So we beat him and sold him to the gypsys.

Now that I think of it, my oldest son is not dyslexic yet I beat him and sold him to the gypsys as well.

So the whole thing may not have had anything to do with the dyslexia thing. Maybe it was more of a parenting style.

Anyway, never mind.

Re: dyslexia

When I got tested for ADD, the doctor also found that along with ADD, I had dyslexia. At that time I was 19 years old and no one had picked it up till then. They said because I use to read a lot when i was little, I was able to get by without anyone noticing. I told my college of both of my problems and they gave me accomodations that have really helped me in classes(along with my ritalin ).
