Recognising Individuality in Each Student

Image
Despite comparable learning traits, each dyslexic child is unique and should be treated as such. Whether you've dealt with one or a hundred dyslexic children, it's critical to understand their unique needs. In technology, I may provide alternatives to one-size-fits-all solutions. Experimenting with numerous tools is vital for determining what works best for your kids and their needs. Accept the willingness to experiment, fail, and, most importantly, persevere. Something is always better than nothing. Some educators may hesitate to employ these technologies due to the risk of failure, worrying that they will be ineffective for their students. The question is, "Will it harm them in any way?" The answer is usually no. The consequence is binary: it either works or does not. There is no danger in trying, so go ahead! If you are concerned about dyslexic pupils' unfamiliarity with technology, don't let it hinder their learning. Most young people today are technologic...

The Impact of Auditory Processing Disorder on Speech and Language Development

Speech and Language Effects of Auditory Processing Disorder APD is one underlying condition that has been linked to speech and language issues. We all know how crucial hearing is to learning, which is why APD is a listening problem.  Poor auditory discrimination: Even when words are delivered loudly and clearly, people with APD frequently struggle to distinguish between different sounds in words. Worse, when there is too much background noise, such as from a playground, a party, or TV in the background, or when they are agitated or depressed, the struggle worsens.  Poor auditory memory: APD in adults or toddlers impairs verbal information's passage to the brain due to poor auditory memory.  Thus, memory offers very little in terms of practical expression and communication. Because of this, individuals would take a long time to write or speak out answers to exam questions.  In addition to understanding and memory, those who suffer from auditory processing disorder fre...

The Key to Learning Languages: The Correct Ear

 Which ear is utilised to listen? This question will only be asked in response to your preferred writing hand (left or right). However, a study involving 3,000 newborns revealed that different ears perceive things differently. According to popular belief, our right ear is better at picking up spoken sounds, whereas our left ear responds quickly to music and song sounds. This would back up the claim made by French ENT Dr Alfred Tomatis that listening with your right ear is ideal, especially when learning a new language. This is owing to the direct connection between the right ear and the left brain, which analyses and stores language. Furthermore, the earlier you start, the better your chances of quickly learning a language are. In other words, younger people learn language faster than older people. Why? Between 0 and 3, the brain has the potential to develop three times larger. That only happens now, and the decisions taken here may significantly impact one's future. Unlike adult e...
