As the child ages and goes into society and then finally meet others in the same age group, factors became much more complex which the child may or not cope very well. Difficulties would show as the child with dyslexia faces new challenges and scenarios amongst their peers.They may show a different personality at home, around the parents, but would clearly show within a school environment. Within the home, the child may feel at ease so the need to try and outdo others is not present, thus not displaying the symptoms of dyslexia to their parents.On the other hand, when the child is in school and among his classmates, he would try to go throughout of the day without any burst of enthusiasm for the learning ahead and shyness would overcome him as his fellow classmates would race through and show more of a developing knowledge than he has .The child would soon distinguish that there is something with him and that the others wou ld tease and make fun of him with his inability to excel in his studies. Further psychological test would be done in order to determine and check which type of dyslexia a child may have.Symptoms: Strong and Weak Points of DyslexiaOnce a child or a person has been diagnosed with dyslexia, often times there are strong points, or symptoms, that appear to every individual like as follows: visual sensory; practicality; skillful; sports oriented; and have vivid imaginations.Recalling and follow instructions; organization skills; concentration; and verification are the common symptoms and weak points of a child or person may have.
