Dyslexia Treatment Tip 2: A study of dyslexic adults has shown that simplifying English spellings could be one way to help sufferers. It also confirmed that the cause of the reading difficulty was a brain disorder.
Dyslexia Treatment Tip 3: The disorder can be partially compensated for with appropriate therapy.
Dyslexia Treatment Tip 4: Advanced brain scans could identify children at risk of dyslexia before they can even read, although it is thought that simple tests of balance could do the same. It has also been shown that early diagnosis and treatment can almost completely eliminate the symptoms of dyslexia.
Dyslexia Treatment Tip 5: The most important thing that can be done for the child is to make sure the child is kept active. You can do this by giving them simple jobs to do around the home such as cleaning the house. This helps improve their concentration and their motivational skills.
Dyslexia Treatment Tip 6: Even a few weeks of intense phonological training (often involving breaking down and rearranging sounds to produce different words) can help noticeably improve reading skills. Unlike in normal adults, phonological training shows an increase in the activity in the right temporoparietal cortex.
Dyslexia Treatment Tip 7: Studies in which young children are taught reading skills while wearing an eyepatch have shown very promising results. This is based upon the theory that, because children benefit more from learning to read than being confocal, the former should take precedence over the latter.
Dyslexia Treatment Tip 8: With time, science is likely to identify and classify all individual suborders with benefits to our understanding of how low-level genetic flaws can affect the wiring of the brain and enhance or reduce a particular component of human mental capacity.
