Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 4,654 times
A 10-year-old student is comparable to other children of the same age in reading comprehension through listening and actively participates in oral discussions. However, when asked to read written instructional material or long sentences, he reads words in reverse order, gets confused between letters (such as 'b' and 'd' or 'p' and 'q'), and struggles immensely in comprehending the meaning of the sentences. Based on neurological and psychological evaluations, this specific learning disorder will be identified as which of the following?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Dyslexia
The symptoms described in the question clearly point towards Dyslexia. It is a neurodevelopmental specific learning disability that primarily affects reading, spelling, and the ability to decode written words.
- Key Characteristics: Children with dyslexia often confuse visually similar letters (such as 'b' and 'd', or 'p' and 'q'), reverse word orders, and experience severe difficulties in comprehending written text despite having normal intelligence and verbal communication skills.
- Other Options: Dysgraphia affects writing abilities, Dyscalculia affects mathematical calculations, and Dyspraxia affects motor coordination.

With reference to Inclusive Education, consider the following statements regarding the key provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPWD Act, 2016) and the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020): 1. Under the RPWD Act, 2016, the types of disabilities have been increased from the previous 7 to 21, and 'Specific Learning Disabilities' (such as dyslexia) have also been officially included under the category of disability. 2. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) provides that the option of special residential or non-residential schools for children with severe disabilities will be completely phased out, and it will be mandatory for them to study exclusively in general schools. 3. NEP 2020 places special emphasis on the establishment of 'Resource Centres' at all levels of school education, special training for teachers, standardization of Indian Sign Language (ISL), and the development of barrier-free infrastructure in schools.
