What is dyspraxia? Addressing Dyslexia Toolkit. Holiday Planner for Sensory Processing. The future is bright for dyslexic students at university. It was my need to read pages several times before information sank in that encouraged me to get tested for dyslexia.
Unfortunately, because I’d already left school, I had to be tested by a local private educational psychologist, which was extremely expensive. After three hours of exercises, which ranged from solving puzzles to simple maths problems, the educational psychologist gave me the diagnosis. At 18, having already completed my A-levels, this was unusual and came as a shock. Seven myths about dyslexia put to rest. As researchers who study dyslexia, we often read articles or overhear conversations that completely misunderstand what dyslexia is – or how it can be treated.
Dyslexia is the term used to describe someone with reading difficulties – and it affects up to 10% of Australians. A reader with dyslexia may have difficulty in reading unusual words like yacht; have difficulty with nonsense words like frop; misread slime as smile; struggle to understand passages; or struggle in a number of other ways when reading. To coincide with Dyslexia Empowerment Week – aimed at raising awareness and understanding of the disorder – we highlight the seven most common misconceptions about dyslexia. Supporting tics and Tourettes in school. By Meir Flancbaum & Jeremy Lichtman Tic disorders are relatively common childhood-onset conditions (Kurlan et al., 2001).
Though a substantial number of youth with tics do not require intervention, for many, the disorder significantly impairs physical, social, emotional, and academic functioning (Storch et al., 2007; Conelea et al., 2011). As a result, it is critically important for school psychologists to be proficient in the diagnostic and clinical features of tics, as well as familiar with strategies for supporting youth with tics.
Diagnosing Tic Disorders According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013), tics are “sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic motor movements or vocalizations” (p. 82).

For as long as I can remember, you have been a part of my life. No matter the time, the location or the season, you were always there, instilling negativity and horror with every step I took. Spotlight on Alexia. Once we have successfully learned how to read, it continues to be easy for most of us.
But for some people it can be an immense challenge. In developmental dyslexia, the process of learning to read is disrupted, while in alexia – or acquired dyslexia – brain damage can affect reading ability in previously literate adults. Patients with pure alexia lose the ability to read fluently following injury to areas in the rear part of the left hemisphere of their brain. The curious thing is that they can still walk, talk, think, and even write like they did before their injury. Specific Language Impairment.
