What
Causes Dyslexia No one knows for certain...
Experts
do not know precisely what causes Dyslexia or Learning Difficulties.
Learning difficulties are presumed to be disorders of the central
nervous system, and a variety of factors may contribute to their
occurrence. Learning difficulties may be due to:
-
Heredity
- Problems during pregnancy and birth
- Incidents after birth
Often
there does not appear to be a specific cause for many learning difficulties.
However, research has shown that, in some dyslexic children the
right side of the brain - which affects creativity originality,
3-dimension functions, spatial awareness and intuition - is more
developed, and the left side - which deals mainly with processing
language and speech - is weaker, hence causing learning difficulties.
This
can result in dyslexic children being exceptionally bright and intelligent
but without the learning skills to develop to their full potential.
