Education has become a remarkable issue nowdays. In other words, today, education is important to create a thrive in society´s development. Education offers a variety of advantages, such as, cultural interaction, posiibilities to acquire a better job and it presents the students or people with reality. Furthermore, education must be perceived as any type of learning process becuase for some people education is limited to a room where a persons gives and assigns topics. Education has gone beyond four walls which means that a person out in the streets can be educated, for instance, a person in a store, soccer field or restaurant might learn.

Althought education is perceived and known to be a relevant aspect in society, not all people are gaining the best of it. Thought some people want to learn, they do not do it as expected because of a hindrance. Some hindrances to be taken into account are dislexia nd aphasia. Dislexia is defined as an impedient in skills used to learn a second language, specifically, in the reading party, whereas Aphasia is a disability related to the language whch might range from forgetting a language to being completely unable to speak, read or write. It is believed that dislexia affect forom 5% to 10% of society and some symptoms of people who have dislexia are: they are considered dumb, lazy or bagd behavior. Also, these people get good grades in the oral part but when are asked to read or write
they suffer severe changes.In addition, people tend to mispronouce long words, leave incomplete sentences, complain of aches when reading and have problems when holding the pen. On the other hand, aphasia is related to frequent headaches or strokes on the head. Describing the typical aphasia is hard because not all people suffer the disease the same way but the msot commom symptons are inability in all English skills( reading, writig, oral and speakin). Other important aspects of aphesia are that students forget the name of the objects, constantly apply neologist ( words that are new and haven´t been accepted in aformal way yet)and tend to repeat phrases without understanding the message.

There is not a cure for Dislexia but if patients are treated early they can learn to write and read. Teachers need to develop efficient methods for students when reading, such as, reading the first and last sentence of each chapter to get the major aspects of the whole story. Give readings to the students that are not long; try to teach them by using small reading with easy and convenient vocabulary. For people who suffer aphasia there is also no cure because the disease can be presented in different ways, so teachers tend to teach studenst to develop a base in reading, writing and speaking. By using key elements in the learning process, such as, technology teachers have been able to develop a lot with studenst, Although people who have aphesia wont never read, write, or speak like the average person they learn to understand the basic elements of a language.

To sum up, although education is the base for the sucess of the world as a whole it still has to face and overcame many challenges like aphasia and dislexia to allow all people to get the best of education.
