Symptoms and Signs of Dyslexia (Ages 1-7)

These symptoms and signs of dyslexia will help you identify whether your child has dyslexia or not. Unrecognized dyslexia can be a real problem and even lead to trauma. So have a look at all of these signs and symptoms! As soon as a child is diagnosed, it is possible to get the right kind of help, and your child will also get access to accommodations like, for example, extra time, audiobooks, and more. Do not fall into the trap of thinking “he will catch up“ or “let’s wait a little longer and if it does not go away, let’s get a dyslexia diagnosis“. If it is dyslexia, it will not go away, and without professional help, your child will likely not catch up. You, as a parent, can prevent a lot of the embarrassing situations and mistreatment that dyslexics encounter simply because their dyslexia goes undiagnosed. Dyslexia is a challenge, but that does not mean that your child can’t be vastly successful in what they do. The first step, is simply to identify. ⏰ Timetable: 00:00 - Intro 00:39 - Why is early diagnosis important? 02:13 - Signs of dyslexia in early childhood 03:31 - Signs of dyslexia in kindergarten and first grade 🙋🏼‍♂️ My name is Arije, and I am a dyslexic with an MA in Education Studies. I aim to share all my tips for learning, coping, teaching, and more on my channel. My aim is to help you understand what dyslexia is and how to work with those that have it. Because I believe that, as the most common hidden learning disability, dyslexia needs to be seen to be understood.
