Reading disability (dyslexia) and Its impact on the Development of High School-aged children

Abstract

 Dyslexia is a learning disorder that primarily affects reading and writing skills, often leading to difficulties in recognizing words, spelling, and comprehension. Using a mixed-method approach, this research combines qualitative interviews with students, teachers, and parents, along with quantitative data from academic performance and screening tools. The findings indicate that students with dyslexia face significant challenges, including low self-esteem, frustration, and academic underachievement. However, the study also highlights the role of inclusive teaching strategies and individualized interventions in fostering better learning outcomes.The results suggest that increased awareness and early identification of dyslexia, along with collaboration between teachers, parents, and students, are crucial to ensuring effective support. This research provides recommendations for schools to develop inclusive educational practices, promote emotional resilience, and implement appropriate accommodations, enabling students with dyslexia to thrive in their academic and personal lives.The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive and understanding environment in high schools, ensuring that students with dyslexia are not only academically successful but also feel socially accepted and emotionally supported
