Abstract

The paper studies the bibliography of the specific reading difficulties in language courses and behavioral problems, with an emphasis on internet reliance in a case study of student in junior high school, who has diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The "addiction" is recorded with excessive use of computer, neglect of individual study of lessons, school sub-performances, and inter-family conflicts. The assumptions investigated whether the philologist, who in our case is the sister of the student, is able to understand the difficulties in perceptual reading and dependency problems. It has also been investigated whether she can interfere with the Targeted Individual Structured and Integrated Program for Students with Special Educational needs (TISIPFSEN) by reading texts through the mobile phone. The results showed that the philologist could understand the reading difficulties. Finally, it showed that she could intervene by turning the negative uses of the internet into positive ones, making the mobile an auxiliary pedagogical teaching tool to a certain language course.
