Introduction and Outline This essay’s purpose is to highlight how school curriculum is altered in order to include a student with additional learning needs.

Dyslexia is the learning difficulty which will be examined theoretically and methodically in this essay. This essay will examine the different learning theories of how to engage a child with dyslexia in the classroom.

Inclusion and Dyslexia The term “inclusion” implies that the needs of all students should be met within mainstream school (Reid, 2013, p13). The Centre for Students on Inclusive Education (CSIE) suggests that developing inclusive provision will take time as ‘inclusion’ is not about what you do, it’s how about you do it. Furthermore, the CSIE states “time spent outside out the classroom for individual or group on a part-time time basis is not segregation” (Thomas and Vaughan, 2004, P137 cited in Reid, P13). …show more content…

    David Bois, a dyslexic lawyer and litigator, has struggled with reading all his life, but he had a "childhood fascination with the law and decided that he would go to law school," which requires a lot of reading, but because of his dyslexia, he could not read like everyone else (2). Although, ever since he was born, he has been meticulously listening, because as he says, “Listening… was the only way I could learn,” he had to scramble and adapt and come up with some kind of strategy that allowed him to keep pace with everyone around him (2). His peers would be reliant on reading and studying to succeed in school, and to succeed in a law career. Thankfully, when he was in school his listening is what kept him ahead of the game because, “while everyone else furiously made notes or doodled or lapsed into daydreams,” he would focus in on everything that was said and written, and paste it all into his memory (2). He was mentally advanced compared to his fellow students, because everything he needed to study or review has already been drilled into his mind.

    The inadequate support from the school and the local community is a major problem (Avramidis & Kalyva, 2007). There is lack of consensus (Nicolson, 1996), given that parents and schools do not deal with dyslexia in a serious way and they do not know enough about this condition (Department of Education,2004; Leij et al, 2001). Therefore, it would be crucial to have the continuous encouragement from the school principal and the school counselors. They should have the determination to work hard to claim funding from governmental and other resources. The existing infrastructure and the financial resources are highly insufficient in Greece.

    There is a lot of confusion over who is and who is not dyslexic, but there are other reasons children may struggle with reading. Even though dyslexia is the major reason for reading issues, there are some children that have fluency or comprehension problems. These can be caused by various factors, but these children do not have problems with the phonological component of language.

    I remember now how all those classmates I had between third and sixth grade, who used to find troubles writing or spelling words, forming sentences and understanding the questions of the exams, may have had dyslexia. I cannot imagine a crueler act than shouting at and humiliating a young kid in front of his/her peers in class for something he/she can neither control nor fix on his/her own. How can a kid recover from such an unfair punishment and also be expected to get better grades in class? No wonder that there is a sort of hostility towards school in general among Moroccan students. Moreover, the ignorance of the parents concerning this disability contributes in the mistreatment of their child.
