Abstract

Disleksi, bireyler arasında sık rastlanan bir öğrenme güçlüğüdür ve dünyada önemli bir araştırma konusudur. Türkiye’de
ise son yıllarda, bu güçlüğe olan ilgi
artmaktadır. Bu ilgiyle
beraber, dünya genelinde olduğu gibi Türkiye’de
de, disleksi hakkında bilgi karmaşasının yaşandığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, disleksi hakkında doğru bilinen yanlışları ortaya koymak ve
toplumda disleksi farkındalığının arttırılmasına yardımcı olmaktır. Bu amaçla, disleksi hakkında yazılı ve çoklu medya
kaynaklarında sıklıkla rastlanan 11
efsanevi bilgi üzerinde durulmuştur. Yapılan araştırmalar incelenmiş ve disleksi ile
ilgili doğrulara ulaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Disleksi ile
ilgili kuramsal bilgiler verilmiş, bu bilgiler tez ve antitezleri ile
birlikte sunulmuştur.

Keywords

Disleksi, öğrenme güçlüğü, okuma güçlüğü
