involves difficulties in learning to read and spell.\u00a0It is often hereditary and can be discovered at an early age.\u00a0You who have <strong>dyslexia<\/strong> or have a child who has difficulty learning to read and spell need help from a specialist educator.\u00a0With the right support and help, many people with dyslexia can do well in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Dyslexia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dyslexia can be marked in various ways.&nbsp;Initially, it is often the case that you or your child have problems with both spoken and written language.&nbsp;This is common if you have dyslexia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You may have difficulty perceiving and distinguishing different sounds in the language, such as u and y or g and k.<\/li><li>You read slowly and get stuck on words or read quickly and incorrectly.<\/li><li>You omit words or the last part of the word when reading.&nbsp;You can also turn the letters into words, such as food and tame.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You write unclearly and throw or omit letters, for example, write dice instead of training.<\/li><li>You have a hard time spelling right.<\/li><li>You may find it difficult to learn many things that come in succession.&nbsp;This may include, for example, the numbers in the multiplication table, the months of the year or the letters of the alphabet.<\/li><li>You can have a hard time quickly figuring out what things are called even if you know it.&nbsp;You often avoid slightly longer, more difficult words.<\/li><li>It is more difficult for you to read than to hear information.<\/li><li>You may also have other difficulties that make it more difficult for you to learn things, such as difficulties concentrating or the trouble of planning and getting things started.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is more difficult for you to read than to hear information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When and where should I seek help and support?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact your child&#8217;s teacher and student health if you think your child has dyslexia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can seek support from other parents of children who have <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">dyslexia<\/span>.\u00a0Contact The\u00a0Parents Association for dyslexic children\u00a0who have activities where children and young people can get in touch with other young people with dyslexia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mapping and investigating dyslexia can be done by a specialist teacher, specialist educator, dyslexia educator, speech therapist or psychologist who has knowledge of dyslexia.&nbsp;The purpose is to determine what action programs and adaptations are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help and support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an adult and have dyslexia, you can get help in the form of different kinds of adjustments as you study or work.&nbsp;For example, it may be that tasks are divided into smaller parts, that you get checklists with instructions or access to recorded textbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child has <em>dyslexia<\/em> and is learning to read, they need to practice some kind of sound method.\u00a0If the child has not learned to read in first class, they need extra support.\u00a0For example, the child can receive this through individual teaching by a special education teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You as a parent can watch films with information about dyslexia at\u00a0Kod-Kn\u00e4ckarna.\u00a0There are tips on what you can do at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various aids that can make it easier for you to read and write.&nbsp;In some county councils, aids can be printed on prescriptions.&nbsp;For example, a computer with a spelling program can be a good tool and a reading ruler can make it easier to follow the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audio support for the lyrics is also good.&nbsp;For example, you can listen to read books or use speech synthesis when a computer voice reads the text.&nbsp;Most books can be listened to through the Legimus app, which is available in libraries and is accessible to anyone with reading disabilities.&nbsp;In many schools, librarians or special educators can help with logging into Legimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Influence and participate in your treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for you to be involved in your treatment for dyslexia, it is important that\u00a0you understand the information you receive.\u00a0Ask questions if you don&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even\u00a0children should be involved in their treatment.\u00a0The older the child, the more important it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0You also have the opportunity to get help from an interpreter if you have a hearing loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dyslexia involves difficulties in learning to read and spell.
