    The document discusses dyslexia, summarizing that it is a specific learning difficulty primarily affecting reading and spelling. It is characterized by difficulties processing word sounds and weaknesses in short-term verbal memory. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence and has genetic causes linked to inefficiencies in the language processing areas of the left brain hemisphere. While there is no cure for dyslexia, its effects can be minimized through multisensory learning techniques, motivation strategies, use of technology, games, breaks during learning, and route learning approaches. The document aims to increase awareness and understanding of dyslexia.

    What is Dyslexia?

    • Dyslexia is a specific learning


    difficulty that mainly affects
    READING and SPELLING.
    • It is charactarized by difficulties in
    processing word-sounds and by
    weaknesses in short-term verbal
    memory.

    Dyslexia is NOT a
    disease
    Dyslexia is NOT related to Intelligence

    There is a common
    notion that dyslexia is
    lack of intelligence.

    There were some families calling me to ask


    whether I can help their children to do their
    homework. And their claim was that their
    children were dumb. However, after my little
    observations, apparently they were dyslexic. But
    since I am not a psychologist or a doctor, I
    couldn't prove that.
    What causes dyslexia?
    Inferior Frontal Gyrus

    The effects of Dyslexia can be


    observed in spoken language as well
    as written langauge. The current
    evidence shows us that this
    difficulty is caused from the
    inefficiency in language-processing
    areas in the left hemisphere of the
    brain which appears to be linked to
    genetic differences. And some
    cases run in families.
    -So dyslexia is only genetic?
    -No.

    These reasons cause

    Why Dyslexia?
    So why did I choose this topic to talk about?

    A very hard working person who encouraged me


    to research this learning difficulty and I believe it
    has a small connection with public speaking as
    well.
    Moreover, unfortunately our society is not aware
    of this difficulty, so I wanted to give a brief
    explanation of what is it.
    (Details of the story behind the research will be
    told during presentation)
