Çankırı Provincial Health Director Dr. Hüseyin Sarıkaya gave information about dyslexia. Stating that dyslexia is usually seen in members of the same family, Dr. Sarıkaya said that in addition to the presence of dyslexia or other learning difficulties in the family, many factors such as premature birth or low weight at birth, exposure to nicotine, drugs, alcohol or infection during pregnancy that may affect the brain development of the fetus and incompatibilities between parts of the brain can reveal dyslexia disorder. Emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, Dr. Sarıkaya noted that although there is no definitive cure, early diagnosis and intervention can significantly help in the treatment process.
Stating that various factors can cause dyslexia disorder, Dr. Sarıkaya said, “Dyslexia is a type of learning disorder that causes reading difficulties due to the inability to recognize sounds and understand the relationship between sounds and letters and words. Dyslexia hinders the individual's ability to learn, they cannot recognize, read and write words correctly or fluently. Dyslexia usually occurs in members of the same family. In addition to a family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities, premature birth or low weight at birth, exposure to nicotine, drugs, alcohol or infections during pregnancy that can affect fetal brain development, and incompatibilities between parts of the brain can lead to dyslexia.”
“Although there is no definitive cure, early diagnosis and intervention can significantly help in treatment.”
Emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, Dr. Sarıkaya said, “Although there is no definitive cure, early diagnosis and intervention can significantly help in treatment. The treatment of dyslexia and all learning disabilities is special education. Special education programs in which occupational therapists, speech therapists, social development specialists and educators work together are recommended. In addition, activities that develop fine motor muscles should be carried out. Individuals with dyslexia are not individuals with mental retardation. As a society, let's not exclude such individuals, let's embrace and be aware of them.”
