student is properly and thoroughly evaluated, and then, based on conclusions, a program is prepared. When a student has dyslexia or any learning disability, a plan is developed by teachers,
administrators, parents and psychologists to create a suitable educational experience for the child. While many learning disabled children are found early by noting that they have a higher IQ than
their grades would suggest, many children fall through the cracks. Dyslexia in particular is very difficult to diagnose. First, it is important to isolate and define dyslexia. Not too
long ago, a committee of the Health Council of the Netherlands met regarding the disorder of dyslexia; they used a working definition as follows: "Dyslexia is present when the automatization
of word identification (reading) and/or word spelling does not develop or does so very incompletely or with great difficulty"(Gersons-Wolfensberger & Ruijssenaars, 1997). This working definition means that dyslexia is characterized
in practice by retardation in both reading and spelling that is severe enough to resist the ordinary teaching methods and remedial efforts (Gersons-Wolfensberger & Ruijssenaars, 1997). In other words, children
with dyslexia learning to read in the traditional classroom will have great difficulty. Upon examination, dyslexia is often accompanied by very slow and/or inaccurate word identification; spelling may also be
affected (Gersons-Wolfensberger & Ruijssenaars, 1997). That is a rather broad definition. A more concise definition of the disorder comes from the International Dyslexia Association: "Dyslexia is a neurologically-based, often
familial, disorder which interferes with the acquisition and processing of language" ("What is Dyslexia," 1998). While more concrete, it is still rather ambiguous. It helps to examine some of the
symptoms. Some early warning signs of dyslexia are delayed speech, confusing sounds, the inability to be able to rhyme by the age of four as well as problems with tying
