Dislexia: reflexões sobre o papel da família e da escola

Abstract

The present work consists of a theoretical analysis of dyslexia. Knowing dyslexia from the presentation of its symptoms, characteristics, diagnosis and treatment, reflecting on its implications in the school and family context. I justify this study by the fact that I am dyslexic and have suffered in my literacy with the lack of information about this deficit and in the classroom by the teacher. Dyslexia is a learning disability, characterized by difficulty in learning reading and writing. Dyslexia has several characteristics and symptoms that affect the student's academic performance and unfortunately there is still no cure, however, it can be treated. The correct diagnosis is made by professionals in the areas of Psychology, Neuropsychology, Speech Therapy and Psychopedagogy. And the treatment also requires the intervention of professionals from different areas. In the school context, we highlight the role of the teacher, as it is on him that children rely in their process of building knowledge and developing skills for their learning. In this process, teachers need the support of family and school, it is important that everyone is together and engaged for the dyslexic student's success. The problem in literacy, decoding and compression is visible, so these children need multisensory methods to develop these skills and the process of construction and knowledge well. This research was based on bibliographic methodology and had authors with broad and deep knowledge about the proposed theme.
