Guest: Dr Rajini Sarvananthan, Consultant Developmental Paediatrician, Simpson Khoo, Clinical Psychologist
We typically think of dyslexia in relation to alphabetic languages, such as English and Bahasa Melayu. However, dyslexia also exists among speakers of symbol-based languages like Chinese and Japanese - although the learning difficulties faced by children learning these languages may be less well-understood. Consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan and clinical psychologist Simpson Khoo join us to discuss what dyslexia looks like among Chinese-language learners, and why the problem may remain invisible in Malaysia’s Chinese vernacular schools.
