Everyday Techniques In Dealing With Dyslexia
As an adult with dyslexia, you are not excused in dealing
with day to day tasks that you need to complete for your survival. Thus,
practicing some ways on how to deal with the common problems caused by the
condition can be very beneficial, one way or another.
Reading
Aloud
Reading aloud can be very helpful, in a way that you get to
identify your mistakes and monitor your speech. Using a tape recorder for this
technique is often the way to do it.
In this technique, you read out
aloud while recording on your recorder. Then, you play back what you have just
recorded and listen if you can detect some mistakes.
Your recorder acts
as your “spotter” for the reading mistakes that you commit.
Time
Keeping
Keeping track of time, appointments and schedules can be one
problem that a dyslexic can face. Making use of the 24 hour clock format is one
way so that you wouldn’t be confused on whether the time is during the night or
day.
Writing What You Can Remember
Sometimes, when you are reading
something long, you can have a hard time comprehending what you have just read.
One way to cope up with this is through writing down what you can remember from
what you have just read. For example, for every page that you finish, you write
down ideas on your notebook.
However, this condition may seem to be a
long process, since you would have to write everything that is on your mind.
Nonetheless, even though it generally takes some time, it is very helpful during
the long run.
Light It Right
The lighting of your environment can
be very crucial, especially when you have dyslexia. Many have found that reading
under bright lighting tends to slow down their reading. This is why having the
right kind of light is important. Some find comfort in reading under soft white
light, or even completely dim lighting.
Get Your Thoughts
Back
When you are taking in too much information, you have a harder time
on understanding what you are trying to learn. Thus, if you feel that you are
not being productive anymore due to too much information, then it is about time
that you take a break.
You should get your thoughts back in line. You can
do this by simply taking a long leisurely walk outside and getting some fresh
air. You can also try going to a quiet place, where you can do some
meditation.
Finger spelling
If you have bad spelling skills, using
the finger spelling method can be helpful to you. It works by putting up a
finger for each phoneme or sound that you hear within the word. This method
enables you to "see" the sounds. It can also work out which sounds are
missing.
Using A Keyboard
Some people with dyslexia find it easier
if they are spelling words through the use of a keyboard. The keys can sometimes
give a calming effect to some individuals, while writing by hand can just cause
the opposite.
These are some of the random ways on how you can ease up
the effects of dyslexia in your life. The said techniques are often subjective,
and can be helpful or not, depending on your
condition.
