(2015)). Although researchers are still trying to pinpoint the exact cause of dyslexia, they attribute dyslexia with environmental, medical, and genetic factors (Hallahan, D., Kauffman, J., & Pullen, P. (2015)). The researchers do know that dyslexia is a neurological dysfunction (Hudson, R. F., High, L., & Al Otaiba, S. (2007)). Through neuroimaging techniques researchers have been able to determine that the left hemisphere of the brain is not functioning properly in dyslexic’s brains (Hudson, R. F., High, L., & Al Otaiba, S. (2007)). The left side of the brain is responsible for speech, language processing, and reading and are the main attributes that affect children who have dyslexia (Hudson, R. F., High, L., & Al Otaiba, S. (2007)). The frontal lobe regulates speech, reasoning, planning, emotions, and consciousness (Hudson, R. F., High, L., & Al Otaiba, S. (2007)). The frontal lobe is important because it helps organize, produce and manipulate speech and language (Hudson, R. F., High, L., & Al Otaiba, S. (2007)). The parietal lobe is responsible for connecting spoken and written language to memory (Hudson, R. F., High, L., & Al Otaiba, S. (2007)). By linking spoken and written language to memory it can help give a better understanding of what we hear and read (Hudson, R. …show more content…
(2015)). Some people with dyslexia might have difficulties in writing from left to right and some might have trouble with reading and writing (Hallahan, D., Kauffman, J., & Pullen, P. (2015)). Reading is a very complicated process that entails the combination of multiple subskills (Hartas, D. (2006)). A person that is diagnosed with dyslexia may have one or more difficulties with phonological development, visual processing, working memory, processing speed, or motor coordination skills (Hartas, D.
