Dyslexia

now i have my heir ^^

this morning, i woke up quite early although i didn't have class [yes, i can even surprise myself sometimes. i always thought i have the waking-up disabilities]. so i browsed through the net, peeked into a few website, and as usual i make a stop at galaxieblog.  there's a story on the birth of baby bloom [congrats bloomy! thinks you just become the most handsome dad ever ^^].  anyway, upon reading the article, i decided to look into orlando bloom- the baby daddy. 


as i read his biography, i was surprised to know that he used to be dyslexic. and in my mind, i thought...WoW. they're[who are dyslexic] really are something, if you just give them a chance. 

i bet you heard it. but what exactly is it?

to put it simply, dyslexia is consider as a learning disabilities encounter by children which effecting their fluency and ability to read and write words or numerical [dyscalculia]. common symptoms of dyslexia in children are seeing alphabet as upside down, reversed or jumbled up together where they often confused themselves with alphabets that looks almost the same with one another, for example p and q or b and d. they might also spell a word correctly but unable to pronounce the word properly.  they often miss words during reading and have bad handwriting. because of that, sometimes these children are label as stupid by their parents or teacher without knowing that the child actually suffering from a brain disorder which they themselves have no control of. 

Causes:
according to the Dyslexia Center [click here] , dyslexia is cause by the following factors:

1. Neurobiological and Genetic- Some believe that dyslexia is inherited through genetics. If a person has dyslexia then chances are their parents, grandparents, or aunt etc. had dyslexia.

2. Brain Development- Some researchers believe that dyslexia is the result of improper neuronal migration. Neurons, nerve cells that form the brain, develop away from where they actually need to be. This failure to migrate causes the brain to not develop fully.

3. Early Age Hearing Problems- Other researchers believe that if there is a problem with hearing at an early age a child will not be able to hear correctly how letters are supposed to sound causing the brain (which is at a crucial developing stage) to fail to make the connections between letters and their correct sound. This lack of letter recognition can be a life long struggle.

4. Crossed Wiring- There are studies that suggest that a child with dyslexia will use the right side of their brain for language work where a child without dyslexia will use the left side. The right side of the brain is not the side that is made to comprehend language, suggesting that some where those wires got crossed. This dependence on the right side of the brain makes a person with dyslexia have to work twice as hard to comprehend language.

5. A Combination- The majority of people believe it is or can be a combination of all of the above reasons. With no known scientific cause or explanation, many say this is probably the most likely answer.

Effects of dyslexia to children
1. Encounter reading difficulties, hence affecting their academic progression although they have the potential for a better result.
2. Cause depression as they are unable to catch up with their studies. teachers might not understand and keep on pressuring them [some might even look down on them and consider to to be stupid] while friends might make fun of their incapability to read.
3. Lost interest in studying or reading.


Treatments:
The best treatment for dyslexic children is early intervention. the earlier their dyslexia detected, the earlier suitable intervention can be provided for them. early interventions involves teaching and learning strategies, teaching methods and teaching materials. however, the intervention for each children differ from one another. it varied according to their dyslexic level and also their memory capabilities.    

To know more about dyslexia, feel free to go to these websites Dyslexia Association Centres and Dyslexia Malaysia. It is important for us, especially teachers [whether you're a normal stream or special education teachers] to know about dyslexia as it need to be detected on the early age. Only then we can help these children to overcome their disabilities. and the most important thing to remember is that these children are 

be aware of Dyslexia

totally random

just another random photo...but then again, it might be true.

wedding dress?

well, not my wedding dress [ehe..], but Tae Yang's. I've been listening to this song of his for quite some time. not really a big fan. i just like this particular song although i can't really relate to it as i never experience anything like that. somehow, i found myself drawn to its beat. so, enjoy it...

a new day have come

yep, my first post in 2011 [a bit late, i know]  but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! anyway ^^

hopefully, with the new year, a new curtain of another story in our life will be unfold. most of us must have our new year resolution(s) ready... wanting to lose some weight, getting a new car, be a better man and the likes.  me? as always, i only want to live another year- come what may. but more importantly, i want to know my purpose in this life.

i'll be 23 this year [that's 2 decade of living] i've done so much, some things i'm proud of, some i'm not. i went to many places, far away from home. but lately, there's one thought that always come up on my mind. Have i found my purpose? does my calling has yet to come? i know i'm studying now, to be a teacher...but is that all to my life? what exactly is my purpose? i never really give this much thought before, as i fell like life would lead me to where i'm supposed to be. now, i wish i know what my purpose is cause although i'm happy living, grateful for everything God has given me, i can't help feeling empty. there's must be more to life...i believe one day it would dawn on me. and when the day come, i just hope i'll be able to fulfill it.  

well, enough crap bout my life. i hope that you have found your purpose. and if not, don't give up in searching it.  live well, and smile for every breath you take. 

live life cool ^^
