- The tradition in Norwegian schools by suspected infectious diseases dyslexia, the "wait and see". Some are detected early, infectious diseases others go through middle school, high school infectious diseases and begins even at the university before the problem is discovered.
Since 2003, she and colleagues conducted a so-called longitudinal study, which began with 109 children. A selection of these have been followed from the age of five until they were out of 6 class of eleven to twelve years old. The main purpose was to find early signs of dyslexia so that children can get help before.
- The problem when schools are waiting to see how children develop, is that when the class first learned reading and writing, infectious diseases they've got a tool for learning other subjects. Children with dyslexia infectious diseases are being left behind, and it affects self-esteem and can lead to behavioral problems, says Helland. Difficult to define
In practice defined dyslexia as "difficulty reading and writing," but the suffering is so individual that it is difficult to narrow down. In dyslexia associated presented, for example, infectious diseases three different infectious diseases definitions: some emphasize the problems with learning, others the phonological failure. The researchers however are confident, that dyslexia is innate in the same manner as musicality. Children infectious diseases can have reading and writing difficulties due to social difficulties, illness or problems with the teacher, but that does not mean they have dyslexia.
26 of the children were identified in a so-called risk group by a simple questionnaire to parents and preschool teachers. They were asked about their children's language development, hereditary factors as well as the motor development could indicate dyslexia. They were also asked if there was anything about your child that made that they had considered enrolling on to special educational assistance.
- Our research shows that this simple questionnaire was to pick out the children who were at risk. In our surveys infectious diseases showed 13 of the 26 children at risk to have dyslexia, but we can get a return rate of over 90 percent, says Helland.
The 26 children were matched in age and sex of a representative control group. infectious diseases Although more boys than girls are diagnosed with dyslexia, research suggests that the difficulty affects as many women as men. Two ways to train
The children were given two different forms of language training. If one started at the bottom of the language by focusing on the sounds that form words, started the second workout with whole sentences before it was more focused on the sounds.
- What we saw was that when we started at the bottom, the children were better infectious diseases to listen for noises and got stronger foundation for reading and writing. They started at the top was faster good at reading. Our conclusion is that these two training must be combined, says Helland.
- The kids got t-shirts and small prizes and was happy to be with. They felt they had been involved in research, and when the study was completed, it was one that asked "E is the end now?" Said Helland infectious diseases with a smile. - If not handled properly
But even if the training has given very positive results, it can be difficult to introduce it in schools. Helland said that many of the measures is limited by the municipal economy. Over forty teachers and coaches trained to implement training programs infectious diseases with the children.
The article Predicting Dyslexia at Age 11 from a Risk Index Questionnaire at Age 5 was recently published in the journal Dyslexia. Findings from the study will also be presented at the 15th European Conference of Developmental Psychology held in Bergen in August. A fellow will research further on the results of fMRI studies of children who were made in connection with the investigation.
