What is dysnomia?
Word retrieval problem. Kids with learning disabilities talk all around something. This is a language based disability. Hard to bring words forward and use in a spontaneous way. Dysnomia, also know as a circumlocution problem, denotes difficulty in finding and/or storing a correct word in your brain and retrieving that word when you are ready to use it. For example, I might be looking at a chair; however, I am unable to think of the word chair, therefore, I describe everything about the chair but can’t locate the correct word to name it directly. For many children with dysnomia, speaking becomes a cognitive experience. Speaking is normally an associative activity. It flows. For dysnomics it is however a cognitive task.
