Characteristic that distinguishes a hyperlexic child from a normal child
June 23rd, 2007The most important characteristic that distinguishes a hyperlexic child from a normal child developmentally is that their auditory pathways in the brain are extremely poor, resulting in seriously compromised verbal communication (Ray).
They rely more on their visual pathways in the brain. The child’s reading skills should be used as a primary means of developing language. If you want to make sure the child is getting the message you are telling them, the best thing to do is write it down.
It is also very helpful to find a book on the subject the child is learning in school for them to read. This will aid in their learning and understanding of the subject.
