The Spanish Federation of Associations of Dyslexia (FEDIS) required the Government to take into “serious” a problem plaguing a million children in Spanish classrooms.

A dyslexic it is a lifetime. But its future will depend largely on what the school do for him. That is, a child with dyslexia has a problem of intelligence but of learning. Need to learn differently, with a method not based on reading and writing as the traditional, but they can visualize the words to give them meaning.

That the school has a staff of professionals trained to teach dyslexic children depends they learn, but more slowly, and can develop a completely normal life, even allowing them to choose to continue studying if they so wish.

Dyslexia = academic failure
The reality is that dyslexia is closely related to academic failure. On the other hand, parents of affected children often complain that their children do not have equal opportunities of access to education and not have sufficient resources to meet the diversity
in the classroom.

It’s something required by law and that, from the Spanish Federation of Associations with Dyslexia (FEDIS) call to the Government for years. Specifically, before starting the school year signed a letter showing his disappointment that “again the group of children with dyslexia are clearly excluded to participate in this call for aid to students with specific needs.”

Lack of commitment
In this and other aspects, FEDIS believes that the Ministry of Education lacks a commitment to “serious” about a problem, they say, affects one million children in schools, but Spanish four million in total.

In fact, they are still waiting for a convincing answer regarding the motion filed in March 2009, where he asked the Interregional of Education to put in place measures for the diagnosis and educational intervention for students with dyslexia. From FEDIS, believe it has abandoned any alternative pedagogic intervention to improve outcomes for these students.
