Abstract

This case report highlights the silent struggle of undiagnosed dyslexia among children in rural Indonesia, a specific learning difficulty affecting reading, writing, and spelling skills. The study reveals a significant gap in dyslexia diagnosis and intervention in these areas, with factors such as limited awareness among parents and educators, insufficient access to diagnostic services, and misconceptions about learning difficulties contributing to under-diagnosis. The consequences of undiagnosed dyslexia are severe, often resulting in academic struggles, low self-esteem, and increased risk of mental health issues. Through a comprehensive literature review and case study, the report emphasizes the urgent need for increased awareness, improved diagnostic services, and targeted interventions to address these challenges. The findings underscore the importance of early identification and appropriate support to ensure better educational outcomes and overall well-being for affected children in rural Indonesian communities.
无声的挣扎:印度尼西亚农村地区一名儿童未确诊的阅读障碍
本病例报告强调了印度尼西亚农村儿童中未确诊的阅读障碍的无声斗争,这是一种影响阅读、写作和拼写技能的特殊学习困难。该研究揭示了在这些领域的阅读障碍诊断和干预方面存在重大差距,诸如家长和教育者意识有限,获得诊断服务的机会不足以及对学习困难的误解等因素导致了诊断不足。未确诊的阅读障碍的后果是严重的,通常会导致学业上的挣扎、自卑和心理健康问题的风险增加。通过全面的文献回顾和案例研究,该报告强调迫切需要提高认识、改善诊断服务和有针对性的干预措施来应对这些挑战。研究结果强调了早期识别和适当支持的重要性,以确保印度尼西亚农村社区受影响儿童获得更好的教育成果和整体福祉。
