Dyslexia, which is the most common specific type of learning disability, manifests itself in situations such as reading disorder, lowering the child's reading ability, letter-voice harmony, inability to match the shapes of the letters with their sounds, and difficulty in spelling. As reading plays a highly critical role in school life, this can significantly hinder a child's school success. Apart from dyslexia, disorders such as dysgraphia (written expression disorder) and dyscalculia (mathematical disorder) may also adversely affect school success. In such cases, the following symptoms can be seen.
● Handwriting that cannot be read and progresses at a very slow speed,
● Inverse, incomplete, or excessive writing of certain letters and words,
● Duplicate spelling errors such as upper and lowercase letters or punctuation marks,
● Not leaving any spaces between words or leaving spaces where they are not necessary,
● Difficulty reading the clock,
● Difficulty in arithmetic such as four operations, learning symbols, learning the multiplication table,
● Difficulty in direction skills, confusing the right-left and back-front directions and direction words such as here and there,
● Difficulty in organizing such as losing things frequently, excessive mess and disorder,
● Difficulty in sorting skills such as confusing the order of days and months, letters in a word, the beginning and end of a story,
● Problems with coarse motor and fine motor skills such as jumping rope, ball games, cutting with scissors, and buttoning.
