Research Language strategy: A systematic review was designed, conducted and analyzed using PubMed, Science Direct, and Reading SciELO databases. Selection criteria: The literature search was conducted using the terms “phonological Review processing” AND “dyslexia” in publications of the last ten years (2004–2014). Data analysis: Following screening of (a) titles and abstracts and (b) full papers, 187 articles were identified as meeting the pre- established inclusion criteria. Results: The phonological processing deficit hypothesis was explored in studies involving several languages. More importantly, we identify studies in all types of writing systems such as ideographic, syllabic and logographic, as well as alphabetic orthography, with different levels of orthography- phonology consistency. Conclusion: The phonological processing hypothesis was considered as a valid explanation to dyslexia, in a wide variety of spoken languages and writing systems.

  • Chapter 1 Developmental Dyslexia and Specific Language Impairment
    Chapter 1 Developmental Dyslexia and Specific Language Impairment. The same or different? Developmental dyslexia is defined as a failure to learn to read properly, despite normal intelligence, normal hearing, adequate classroom exposure and the absence of physical, emotional or socioeconomic problems (Vellutino, 1979). According to the International Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is a specific language-based reading disorder. Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is defined as a developmental language disorder in which affected children fail to acquire language properly, despite having normal non-verbal intelligence, normal hearing and no known neurological dysfunctions or behavioural, emotional or social problems (Leonard, 1998) Both disorders are defined by way of exclusion: a child is said to be specifically reading impaired or specifically language impaired when the relevant impairment is not caused by a known handicap. However, for both disorders this entails that it is not clear what is specific about them. To make matters worse, both dyslexia and SLI are heterogeneous disorders. Common profiles of dyslexia and SLI do exist, but they don’t fit all individuals suffering from either of these disorders. This makes it even less likely that all children diagnosed as dyslexic or language impaired will exhibit the same symptoms. Furthermore, there seems to be a considerable overlap between these two clinical populations. Children with dyslexia and SLI often suffer from the same symptoms, including poor phonological processing, poor short-term memory skills and difficulties in speech perception. Problems with morphosyntax are mainly associated with SLI, but dyslexic children have also been found to experience problems in this domain. Thus, some children fit the criteria of both disorders and are labelled as dyslexic or language impaired by chance, depending on the type of clinician that the child first encounters.

ASHA / Stuttering • Many children may stutter sometimes. This is normal and should go away. • Signs of stuttering include – repeating sounds at the beginning of words (“b-b-bball”) – pausing while talking – stretching sounds out (“sssssssnake” for “snake”) – saying “um” or “uh” a lot while talking ASHA / Stuttering prevention tips • Give your child time to talk. • Try not to interrupt your child while he or she is speaking. • Have your child tested by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) if you are worried.

  • Early Help Better Future
    Early Help Better Future A Guide to the Early Recognition of Dyslexia by Jean Augur Introduction In the past it was thought that the earliest that a child could be identified as having a dyslexic profile was at about the age of six. This was because, by six, the child was already giving cause for concern particularly as regards reading, writing and spelling, all very important skills in the school curriculum. With experience, however, and from the findings of research studies, it is now evident that there are many signs well before school age which may suggest such a profile and the consequent difficulties ahead. Parents and pre-school carers as well as educators in those early years are amongst those in the best position to recognise these signs, and to provide appropriate activities to help. Training in some of these activities will help to build firm foundations for later, more formal, training. What is Dyslexia? Dyslexia is best described as a specific difficulty in learning, in one or more of reading, spelling and written language which may be accompanied by difficulty in number work, short-term memory, sequencing, auditory and/or visual perception, and motor skills. It is particularly related to mastering and using written language – alphabetic, numeric and musical notation. In addition, oral language is often affected to some degree. Dyslexia occurs despite normal teaching and is independent of socio-economic background or intelligence. It is, however, more easily detected in those with average or above intelligence. 1 Some of the Early Signs which may suggest a Dyslexic Profile General · Family history of similar difficulties; · May have walked early but did not crawl – was a “bottom shuffler” or “tummy wriggler”; · Persistent difficulties in getting dressed efficiently; · Persistent difficulty in putting shoes on the correct feet; Just marking the shoes with “outside” may help to ease the difficulty.
