This survey examined the impact of self-efficacy on reading development and academic outcomes for children with dyslexia and reading disabilities. The study aimed to identify parentdriven behaviors that promote self-efficacy in reading for children with dyslexia and to determine the relationship between parent self-efficacy, child self-efficacy, and academic success. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze participant demographics, parent self-efficacy, child self-efficacy, and academic success. The results demonstrated that high levels of parent and child self-efficacy significantly influence the academic success of children with dyslexia and reading disabilities. The findings suggest that fostering self-efficacy in parents and children is crucial in building the confidence and resilience needed for academic success. Educators, clinicians, and other professionals can use these results to promote selfefficacy in parents and children to improve educational outcomes for children with dyslexia and reading disabilities. The study's implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed. |
