dyslexia a2 z - health and dyslexia

This site is dedicated to raising awareness of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD's). It is operated by Maria Chivers who is an international author on Dyslexia. We specialise in providing information on: Dyslexia; Dyscalculia; Dysgraphia; Dyspraxia; ADHD; and other Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD's).

 

Below you will an extensive list of the items on this part of the 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.

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).

Complementary Therapies & Dyslexia

The section on Complementary Therapies and Dyslexia will be completed shortly.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

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.
