Hit the road with Marta

Hello Everyone! I just found out that I haven't told you about another important movie that I recently watched, which also deals with the topics I have touched on recently. It is a beautiful and very touching film called "After Thomas". The film is about a family in which a little son named Kyle has autism. The boy is a few years old, mainly his mother takes care of him, and his father is trying to earn money for their living. Mother is very committed to looking for suitable schools for Kyl or doing special exercises with him, she really wants him to be like other children. Sometimes the film shows very sad scenes when the mother completely loses her strength, when she screams out loud that he doesn't understand anything. I was also impressed by the scene when his mother says that he will never tell her that he loves her because he will never love her because he does not know what love is. I realized how people don't talk about such things as parents, apart from m...

Hello Everyone! Today I'll tell you again about a very interesting series that I just finished watching. The series is called "Atypical", its main character is a boy from the autism spectrum. The series can be watched on netflix, so far 3 seasons have been released. I highly recommend this series. He is an 18-year-old boy himself, a typical teenager, goes to school, has friends, has his first job, but his distinguishing feature is autism. Thanks to the series, we get to know his life and feelings, we learn how difficult it is for him to function in our society. Even though some consider him a weirdo, Sam is a great guy. The first season is very much focused on finding love. He himself wants a girlfriend and although he often does not know how to behave, he does not understand his feelings, he wants to have someone close to him. There are problems in his everyday life that we are often unaware of, too loud music or word-crowds can cause him anxiety. The series is ful...

Hello Everyone! The last disorder I would like to tell you about is dyscalculia, which I think is the rarest of the disorders that start with "dys". Dyscalculia is a disorder of the ability to perform arithmetic operations. There are as many as 6 types of dyscalculia: ·        Conceptual and cognitive dyscalculia – disorder of abstract understanding necessary to perform memory calculations. ·        Operational dyscalculia - a disorder in the performance of mathematical operations with undisturbed ability to write / read numbers. ·        Verbal (verbal) dyscalculia - disorders of the ability to name concepts and mathematical relations ·        Lexical dyscalculia (reading) - a disorder of reading mathematical symbols. ·        Graphic dyscalculia (writing) difficulties in writing numbers and mathematical symbols. ·  ...

Hello Everyone! Today is the time for dysorthography. Dysorthography is a type of disorder that consists in spelling words incorrectly. It manifests itself in childhood, in the first years of learning and can be manifested through: ·       ·        confusing a word with pronunciation omitting certain letters, and sometimes even whole syllables, ·        confusing letters graphically (e.g. l-ł or in a mirror image b-d - I make this mistake very often, e.g. I write a pedadog) ·        problems with spelling words containing sz, rz, dz, cz ·        committing classic spelling mistakes It turns out that the cause of dysorthography is not ignorance of grammar rules, but a disturbance of visual or auditory perception. In learning to write, the functions of sight and hearing are important, as well as motor skills, vocabulary and correct articulation. ...

Hello Everyone! Dysgraphy, or problems with writing, is one of the most common causes of problems in children at school, next to dyslexia and dysorthography. Dysgraphy is defined as a partial or complete loss of the ability to write correctly graphically, which often makes it completely illegible. It is important to remember that dysgraphic problems are not necessarily the result of a child's intellectual disability. Dysgraphia is primarily characterized by an illegible style of writing, which is associated with writing letters:   confusing letters, i.e. l-g, p-g, b-d, p-b;   with an uncertain, trembling line; outside the designated lines. imprecisely reproduced, irregular; too inclined from vertical; differing in size within one word; Other problems characteristic of dysgraphia are: holding the pen tightly, getting tired quickly while writing and reluctance to draw, we can quite boldly suspect dysgraphia. There are 3 types of dysgraphia: spatial, dyslexic and mo...

 Hello Everyone! Recently, I was talking about dyslexia, and I got off the topic pretty quickly. Now I will tell you why I became interested in it and why this topic is particularly important to me, of course, as I mentioned earlier in the preparatory classes for future teachers, I had the topic of various disorders, including dyslexia, but this topic is important to me because I myself have dyslexia . This is quite funny as my whole family is dyslexic, my parents, my brothers and my sister. We are unique in this respect. I will tell you what my dyslexia looks like to me and how it manifests itself. First of all, I would like to start with the fact that it was only at the university that I heard the opinion that dyslexia is problematic, I always thought that it was just a minor problem requiring more time to study and that's it. Nowadays, there are even films showing the problem of dyslexia and showing the feelings of students who are dyslexic. In my case, dyslexia was diagnosed ...
