Lived Experiences of Primary Caregivers of Children with Dyslexia: A Phenomenological Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Caregivers play an important role in children's development. Therefore, they need to recognize the learning difficulties that their children face and support them to ensure learning gains and prevent secondary complications. Nevertheless, supporting a child with a learning disability can be challenging for caregivers in many ways.¹ This study investigated caregivers' knowledge of dyslexia, their challenges when raising children with dyslexia, and the support they seek to raise such children.

Methods

Ten individual in-depth interviews (IDIs) and four focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted among 30 caregivers in Sri Lanka. Initial codes were generated using open coding from the transcripts, leading to sub-themes and themes.
