health and dyslexia

Below you will find a list of health issues in relation to dyslexia and other learning difficulties found on this site.



Eye Related Therapies (Vision) & Dyslexia

Visual problems are one of the most common causes of disability in the world. The Optical Information Council has estimated that one child in five, with learning difficulties, including dyslexia, may have undetected eye / visual problems.

 

Regular eye tests using new techniques may prevent children with learning difficulties, from being labelled problem children and would enable children to be identified at a much earlier age. It is imperative that these tests are carried out before the child starts to fail, as the damage caused to their self-esteem is very difficult to restore.



Auditory Difficulties (Hearing) & and Dyslexia

In Britain over eight million people suffer from a Auditory / hearing loss, over 25,000 of these are children. Deafness is often associated with older people. But many are born deaf or profoundly deaf - others become so after an illness. One million children (0-8 years) will experience temporary deafness caused by glue ear.



Diet, Nutrition, Fatty Acids & Dyslexia

There has been a lot of research over the last decade, which has concluded that abnormal levels of fatty acids in the brain could be behind the practical and behavioural problems experienced by dyslexic children, as well as those with dyspraxia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).



Developmental Therapies & Dyslexia

There is a school of thought that many specific learning difficulties are due to developmental disorders.


This does not mean that a child has been damaged but that certain early developmental reflexes have not fully matured. These reflexes normally develop spontaneously during a child's early years.
