SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL CHALLENGES OF DYSLEXIC CHILDREN
SocialEffects of Dyslexia
While we tend to think of dyslexia as a reading disorder, it also has an effect on a child’s social and communication skills. Since it can interfere with being able to retrieve words quickly, dyslexia can hinder a child’s ability to interact with peers in a typical way and respond appropriately in social situations. Certainly a dyslexic person having difficulties in finding proper words in particular situation can have trouble with their expressive language. The dyslexic frequently has problems with social relationships also. These can be traced to causes:
• Dyslexic children may be physically and socially immature in comparison to their peers. This can lead to a …show more content…

Many students have been diagnosed whilst at school, and have benefited from good support. These students often have a clear understanding of their areas of weakness, and have developed strategies to manage these. Nevertheless, fatigue and frustration are common, together with a lack of confidence in their own ability.
Students whose difficulties have not been identified until later in life may experience more negative emotions such as panic, stress, anxiety and low self- esteem. This may be particularly true for mature students, some of whom will have had very negative experiences of education earlier in life.
Dyslexia can have a reflective effect on the dyslexic child’s educational experience and the child’s ability to master literacy skills.Whereas assessing the dyslexic child’s ability in relation to literacy is relatively achievable, it is difficult to assess the effects of dyslexia on the children without considering its emotional and social effects. It is not only the specific cognitive inefficiencies that make dyslexia a serious problem, but it is also and mainly the adverse reactions and feedback the afflicted children receive from their social surroundings because of their specific learning difficulties.

Just because a couple of cases of dyslexia are pointed out, means nothing to the literal tens of millions diagnosed every year that end up being exactly how people would expect someone like that to end up. By comparing the top 1% percent of performers with dyslexia to the top 1% of performers without dyslexia, we are able to truly see the stupidity of such a claim. Dyslexia impedes a human’s ability to operate, and just because this might make them more resilient they are still impaired with this disability.

There are many factors that can affect a child’s language and communication. Some of these factors can be positive; however, some can be negative. A cultural factor affecting emergent literacy could be children who have English as an additional language (EAL) this is because they know more of their native language than they do English and can be difficult to grasp another language at such a young age. Also some EAL children may have the knowledge of the English language and can speak the language however; their self-esteem, self-confidence and shyness could play a part in this and therefore may not be willing to use the English language. Also, EAL children may find it difficult to grasp the English alphabet.

Of course, we are not talking here about students whose comprehension is severely impaired, because they are usually schooled individually and have a special grading system, adjusted to their needs and abilities. But in the classrooms there are often students with less obvious disabilities, which, although less severe, can also create academic challenges. Some of them, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, are directly related to learning and may affect the speed at which students acquire the material. Others, such as anxiety or ADHD may not only disrupt learning, but also are very likely to cause discrepancies between the students’ subject knowledge and their exam and assignment results.

Children who are unsuccessful early are more likely to start disliking reading and avoid it all together (Campbell et al., 2008). When children aren’t successful at reading from early on, they’re at a substantially higher risk of being unable to read at grade level (Campbell et al., 2008). Multisensory Instruction in Education Multisensory instruction started in the 1920’s originating from neuropsychiatrist and pathologist, Dr. Samuel Orton’s search to find instructional methods that would aid in helping students with dyslexia learn.
