66
Q

What is - difficulty with reading?

A

dyslexia

People with dyslexia have difficulty connecting letters they see on a page with the sounds they make. As a result, reading becomes a slow, effortful and not a fluent process for them.Common misconception that all children with dyslexia only write letters backwards or if a child writes letters backwards they have dyslexia.

67
Q

What is difficulties with putting one’s thoughts into written language. Difficulties with spelling, grammar, punctuation, and handwriting?

A

dysgraphia

68
Q

What is- difficulties learning number related concepts or using the symbols and functions to perform math. Problems with math can include difficulties with number sense, memorizing math facts, math calculations, math reasoning, or math problem solving.

A

dyscalculia

69
Q

How many of the following symptoms and for how long must they be present in order to have a diagnosis of specific learning disorder?

○ Inaccurate or slow and effortful word reading (e.g., reads single words aloud incorrectly or slowly and hesitantly, frequently guesses words, has difficulty sounding out words).

○ Difficulty understanding the meaning of what is read (e.g., may read text accurately but not understand the sequence, relationships, inferences, or deeper meanings of what is read).

○ Difficulties with spelling (e.g., may add, omit, or substitute vowels or consonants).

○ Difficulties with written expression (e.g., makes multiple grammatical or punctuation errors within sentences; employs poor paragraph organization; written expression of ideas lacks clarity).

○ Difficulties mastering number sense, number facts, or calculation (e.g., has poor understanding of numbers, their magnitude, and relationships; counts on fingers to add single-digit numbers instead of recalling the math fact as peers do; gets lost in the midst of arithmetic computation and may switch procedures).

○ Difficulties with mathematical reasoning (e.g., has severe difficulty applying mathematical concepts, facts, or procedures to solve quantitative problems).

Specific learning disabilities can include impairments with reading, written expression, and mathematics…….

Which category is being described:

If dyslexia is used to specify this particular pattern of difficulties, it is important also to specify any additional difficulties that are present, such as difficulties with reading comprehension or math reasoning.

A

○ Number sense

○ Memorization of arithmetic facts

○ Accurate or fluent calculation

○ Accurate math reasoning

79
Q

What is an alternative term used to refer to a pattern of difficulties characterized by problems processing numerical information, learning arithmetic facts, and performing accurate or fluent calculations?

A

dyscalculia

80
Q

How to distinguish mild, moderate and severe specific learning disabilities:

A

mild: : Some difficulties learning skills in one or two academic domains

moderate: Marked difficulties learning skills in one or more academic domains

severe: Severe difficulties learning skills, affecting several academic domains, so that the individual is unlikely to learn those skills without ongoing intensive individualized and specialized teaching for most of the school years.

81
Q

What are the 2 interventions for specific learning disabilities based on educational environment?

A

Plan evidence-based interventions.

Tailor the education to the unique pattern of cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses.

82
