Trastorno del desarrollo de la lectura - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Dislexia

Tratamiento:

Toda persona con dislexia requiere una estrategia diferente. Se debe crear un plan de educación individual para cada niño con esta afección.

Se puede recomendar lo siguiente:

  • Ayuda adicional con el aprendizaje, llamada educación especial.
  • Tutoría individualizada y privada.
  • Clases diarias especiales.

Es importante el refuerzo positivo, ya que muchos estudiantes con dificultades de aprendizaje tienen una baja autoestima. Asimismo, la asesoría psicológica puede ser útil.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

La ayuda especializada (llamada educación especial) puede llevar a un marcado mejoramiento en la lectura y la comprensión.

Las dificultades con la lectura pueden persistir de por vida.

Complicaciones:

El trastorno del desarrollo de la lectura puede llevar a:

  • Problemas en la escuela, incluso problemas de comportamiento.
  • Pérdida de la autoestima.
  • Problemas con la lectura que persisten en la vida adulta, lo cual puede afectar el desempeño laboral, particularmente si el problema no se abordó tempranamente.

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Consulte con el médico si su hijo parece estar teniendo problemas para aprender a leer.
