As long as they don't write, as long as they don't talk about dyslexia, there are still people who think that if a child can't learn spelling and reading, he's a moron.
There are those who express thoughts as if a disclecticism is absolutely unsuitable for qualified work and mistakes in spelling speak about its total mental unsuitability. Citizens can list the names of celebrities with dyslexia, but they usually call it excuses. Well, this is a well-known situation now in the Internet. If a person has some qualities inherent to the majority of the world's population, but there are those who can not, he considers himself the crown jewel of evolution.
Anyway, but nowadays children with dyslexia in the population are about 10%. Some sources give up to 17%. In order to understand what dyslexia is and why it occurs, there are several illustrative images.
A person with dyslexia has a different brain. Often in the centers responsible for writing and reading, during the formation of the brain there are small "development errors" when the cells in the cortex are not in place. The location of neurons in the cortex is very important for its normal functioning. However, in some cases the nerve cells do not reach their position in the cortex, or go further than they should. They can be found in the form of small areas with randomly placed neurons in them. They are called ectopias.
They work together to process information. However, in people with dyslexia, the brain works differently. Some of the necessary centers remain uninvolved.
The point is not only that ectopic hearths do not work like this, or do not work at all. Among other things, it was found that the kernels in the thalamus of the kernel responsible for switching signals from the visual and hearing areas, as well as from the speech area (Brock's center) are smaller than normal.
However, in fact, the brain is not inactive and does not stop because of these obstacles. It has been shown that it is approximately 5 times more active than the brain of an ordinary person.
The brain is looking for workarounds to master this skill.
It turns out not at once and not so easily. So, for example, a few models, as a child with dyslexia sees the text. Now I think it becomes more obvious what children with dyslexia have to go through.
As a result, the brain does find ways to master reading and writing. But they are completely different. The vast majority of children eventually learn school skills, although the brain remains "dyslexic". Not surprisingly, among people with dyslexia, there are many gifted people.
Their brains were working on an alternative program of reading and writing, bypassing the damaged natural ways, while others were given these skills almost for free.
I'm all for the fact that there was a rather interesting work that showed that children with dyslexia, who play computer games like action games for 1.5 hours a day for a year, are moving much faster in the development of reading and writing. Games help to develop attention faster, as well as various alternative ways in the brain, to increase the reaction rate and cause similar adaptive processes in the brain.
