Dyslexia
Hello Guardian,
This letter is written to you to help in clarifying some important issues concerning the child under your care. The child is proven to be experiencing a natural condition called Dyslexia. Dyslexia is a condition that is generally considered to hamper normal learning capabilities of individuals. In many cases children and other persons who experiences the dyslexic conditions have faced a lot of discrimination that may end up having a great amount of impact on their study life.
As a guardian we would like to bring to your attention that bringing up a child successfully involves a lot of factors. In many cases it requires a collective effort and responsibilities. Such efforts must have both the teachers and the parents play a collective role. This has led to our great concern of involving you in the case of the student.
First and foremost, we would like to bring to your clear attention that dyslexia is not an evil situation. The condition has been erroneously considered to be able to impair efficient learning. However, research studies show that it can as well be a great blessing to the individual with the condition. The fact that dyslexia happened with stunning frequency, calls for our great concern to make some facts about the condition well known.
Dyslexia affects everybody, irrespective of gender, age, religion, race or color. The underlying principle is that it is a hereditary condition that is passed from the parent to the child and to the subsequent generations. Most importantly, it is important to note that dyslexia is a normal condition that people should embrace. Its degree of occurrence also varies from individual to individual and this makes it a normal condition among the people.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that Dyslexia carries with it blessings and exemplary capabilities as well. Research studies that has been done for a period of not less than two decades confirms this. According to Dr. Jennifer Ackerman, dyslexia is a condition that has great amount of advantages to the individual who experiences it and the society at large. What many people have not realized is the need to have all the positive aspects of the conditions harnessed for the better course of the individual’s development.
These should be harnessed to bring about a positive growth in the child and individuals who experience this condition. The research studies carried out by Ackerman shows that dyslexia is characterized by stronger mental analyzation power in the individuals with the same conditions. It increases intelligence and the children with dyslexia are generally better performers in class. Minor conditions are however manifested in specific traits like the inability to read some set of phonetically identical words. This has made many people including teachers to put all the blame on such students for lack of motivation and intrest to take on the areas they have weaknesses in. This is why we encourage individuals to get a copy of the published journal to read for their own and see how far they as parents can be involved in the situation
Finally we view Dyslexia to be closely associated with an ability to solve problems in original ways. This is however not a popular position of most people in the society. The society members, for lack of understanding, then go ahead and discriminate the culprits. It is now our pleasure that you will get a copy of the same article and discern the best course of action that is necessary for the total development of the child under your care.
