Studies conducted by Snowling (2000) reveal that the motivation of SpLDs students reduces leading to a lowered self-esteem, willpower, and self-concept to tackle problems and they characterize their academic failure or success to their luck. Research points out that academic apprehension among students commonly gets poorer as child 's improvement through school and may explain the reason why SpLDs students come across an intense emotional distress. Students with SpLDs are transitioning from junior schools to university institutions in large numbers presently when compared to the past. The students with SpLDs such as dyslexia in universities are a principal representative of the students recognized as possessing SpLDs in the general national

In reality, both the causes of dyslexia and how its behaviours are manifested are very poorly understood; for years, psychologists, neurologists and other researchers have tried to find an answer to the question of what dyslexia actually is, but no universally acceptable definition has been found. Although many experts believe that a convincing theory and explanation of dyslexia is not far away, dyslexia remains a condition without a generally agreed-upon definition (Fitzgibbon and O 'Connor, …show more content…
Elliot et al. argue against the concept of dyslexia altogether - or, more specifically, about the application of being diagnosed with dyslexia (Elliott and Gibbs, 2008). These researchers argued that being labelled as a dyslexic person will facilitate stigma, disenfranchisement, and inequitable use of resources; most importantly, in his view, it will deprive the poor readers who were not diagnosed as dyslexic from the same resources that will be provided for dyslexic students. He argues that the term dyslexia will allow people who were diagnosed with it to receive various kinds of treatment that the poor readers will be deprived of, and he sees the whole dichotomy between the dyslexic and poor readers as false. His argument emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all children receive equal educational opportunities as he sees the concept of dyslexia to be unbounded and unverifiable. Although, there is a general air of agreement with Elliot in terms of the strong need in the educational world to offer equal opportunities to all students, including those who are poor readers and those who are diagnosed as being dyslexic. However, there is a strong disagreement when it concerns Elliott argument about the need to distinguish between the two groups, as the social, cognitive, and behavioural characteristics associated with these two groups - although very finely distinguished - are
