| Publisher : | | Bridge Center | Article URL : | | | Abstract : | | In this study I present an attempt to portray some of the issues
regarding dyslexia. The article will begin by looking at the
developments of ideas around dyslexia since the first case of dyslexia
was recorded. Also, we will look at the definitions, identification and
the issue of terminology and labelling.
Over the years scientists have tried to define dyslexia. The
definitions vary and depend on the scientific backgrounds of the
individual researchers and what they conceptualize as the underlying
cause of dyslexia (Ott, 1997). Over the last decades more interest grew
about dyslexia or Specific Leaning Disability (SLD) and more
researchers tried to find the causes and effects of it. More than 50
definitions can be found in the literature in an attempt to achieve the
right one about dyslexia (Ott, 1997).
Defining any condition is quite important as it can help people
to identify any individuals that experience it. Being assessed and
identified with any condition can be a very emotional and social
experience. Identification is quite closely linked with labelling as any
positive assessment of any condition will, as a result, cause a label to
be attached to the interested party. Labelling can have positive and
negative effects for people. To start with, it gives them a reason for
their condition and problems. It can give them the ‘power’ to ask for
specialized help and support. On the other hand, labels can stigmatize
people. Research has shown that even among individuals with
disabilities different labels are more accepted than others. | Keywords : | | dyslexia, specific learning difficulty, labeling,
