        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Paediatrician and consultant in social\npaediatrics, Dr Farid Agung Rahmadi, M.Si.Med., Sp.A, Subsp.\nT.K.P.S.(K), believes children with specific learning disorders such as\ndyslexia need to be accompanied while learning, including when studying\nat school.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during a discussion in Jakarta on Tuesday, the member of the\nCoordination Working Unit (UKK) for Growth and Development and Social\nPaediatrics of the Indonesian Paediatric Society (IDAI) said teachers\nneed the ability to recognise the patterns of learning difficulties\nexperienced by children so they can provide early intervention in the\nschool environment.<\/p>\n<p>Intervention can be carried out in stages, starting from whole-class\nteaching, small groups, and up to individual accompaniment. If the\ndifficulties persist and show no meaningful improvement, the teacher\nshould communicate with parents so that an assessment by professionals\ncan subsequently be carried out.<\/p>\n<p>In certain circumstances, schools may also consider assigning a\nshadow teacher to help children with special needs follow the learning\nprocess.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasised that strengthening the capacity of teaching staff\nis important so that schools can provide appropriate support while\nhelping children remain confident in their learning activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSelf-confidence is actually influenced largely by the environment.\nIf the school and home environments provide the right support, the\nresults will certainly be better,\u201d said Farid.<\/p>\n<p>Parents and teachers can recognise early signs of dyslexia from the\nmoment a child begins learning to read, especially when the child\nconsistently struggles to recognise letters and their sounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn grades 1 to 3, the child has difficulty distinguishing or\nidentifying what sound a letter makes. When vowels are added, they also\nfind it hard to spell,\u201d said Farid.<\/p>\n<p>One way to identify signs of dyslexia in children is to look at the\ndifference between oral and written test results. Children with dyslexia\ngenerally understand learning material better when questions are read\naloud to them compared with when they have to read them themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the questions are read aloud, the child\u2019s results are far\nbetter than in written tests,\u201d said Farid.<\/p>",
