THE ROLE OF FOLK PEDAGOGY AND MEDICINE IN DYSLEXIA CHILDREN
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that has a neurobiological origin. It is marked by difficulties with accurate or fluent recognition of words and poor spelling in people who have average or above average intelligence and these difficulties cannot be attributed to another cause.It has been hypothesized that musical training may be able to remediate timing difficulties, improve pitch perception, or increase spatial awareness, thereby having a positive effect on skills needed in the development of language and literacy.Neuroscientific literature support the use of musical training as a therapeutic tool among the arsenal already available to therapists and educators for treating children with dyslexia. This article discusses about the role and position of folk pedagogy and medicine in dyslexia children.
