CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -While there’s little doubt that impaired vision can interfere with a child’s ability to read, dyslexia is not a vision problem and, as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) clearly states, cannot be solved through “eye exercises, behavioral vision therapy, or special tinted filters or lenses.”

Detailed explanation-2: -Many people mistakenly believe that dyslexia is a vision problem; it is a brain processing problem that cannot be treated with vision therapy. However, undiagnosed visual problems are commonly misdiagnosed as dyslexia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called a reading disability, dyslexia is a result of individual differences in areas of the brain that process language.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adequate assessment of language processing is important in determining why students struggle to learn to read. Dyslexia, or reading disability, is a disorder of the language processing systems in the brain.
