Extractions: The general approach to working with students who have both ADD and dyslexia is to get the ADD under control and then work on the dyslexia. Getting ADD under control means using either medication or behavioral training so that a student can develop good academic habits related to assignment completion, sustained attention, assignment recording and other academic habits that can facilitate academic achievement. If these skills are in place, the intervention activities can then move to developing the word fluency and comprehension skills lacking in most dyslexic readers.
What Are The Reading Interventions For ADD And ADHD? Readers with attentional disorders, ADHD and add, fall behind in academic performance The FREE reading and dyslexia Screening will give the parent, http://www.readingsuccesslab.com/FAQ/ReadingIntervention/ADDIntervention.html
Extractions: Readers with attentional disorders, ADHD and ADD, fall behind in academic performance because they miss a good deal of the academic activity going on around them. One way to think about what is happening with them is to imagine they have a tape recorder in their heads that periodically skips recording of events. Over time these skips add up to considerable amounts of lost academic learning time. The most common interventions for a reader with an attentional disorder is designed to improve attentional performance. The use of medication is one form of intervention of this type. Others involve behavior management training and counseling. These interventions can often improve attentional performance, but they do not directly address the poor academic skills that have developed because of attentional disorders.

Extractions: type="text/javascript"> Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home > Parenting For a student with dyslexia, reading common words and letter combinations is as foreign to them as trying to read in another language. The key to helping a student with dyslexia is to break reading into its basic elements: letter sounds, letter combinations, words in isolation, and finally, sentences and stories. Steps: Assess the child's knowledge of the alphabet. If a student does not know the names of all the letters of the alphabet, one cannot assume the child will know the sounds the letters make. Practice making letter sounds. Start with the simple individual sounds each letter makes and, upon mastery, gradually move to more complex consonant and vowel combinations. Use a lot of variety in sound instruction; it can become boring very fast. Play games using letter magnets, flash cards or letter blocks. Look for and cut out letters and letter combinations from the newspaper. Combine letters and letter combinations to create words. Start with simple sight words and, upon mastery, gradually increase the difficulty of the words. Apply the same decoding strategies you used with sounding out letters to prompt the child in sounding out new words. Say things like, "What sound does 'c' make? What sound does 'a' make? What sound does 't' make? Now put the three sounds together." Again, vary the instructional techniques you use to increase learning and motivation.

Extractions: Q. A. Your son is in a resource room for help in reading. If his teachers are working with him, thinking he has a reading difficulty and not a reading disability, they just may not be doing enough for him, or they may not be doing the right kind of intervention. That's why it's important to have the person who tested your son give you (and more importantly, his teachers!) a very clear understanding of the nature of his reading problem. The results of the evaluation should also be used to generate specific strategies for intervention. (A student who has a visual-perceptually based learning disability, for example, requires a much different kind of help than a child who has difficulty making sense of the sounds generated by letters or letter combinations.) The private tutoring that your son gets after school should be related to and reinforce the teaching that takes place at school. This means that the people at the school have to talk to the private tutor. What about the ADHD issue? I think your pediatrician and the school psychologist need to have a professional discussion about this diagnosis and come to some agreement. If they can't work this out together, then ask for a third, impartial opinion. Since there are specialized interventions for ADHD (behavior contracts, instruction in self-monitoring, medication, etc.) this issue needs to be resolved. Ideally, they should all see themselves as players on the same team. If you think this isn't happening, you should request a meeting of all the professionals so that they will both be "on the same page" regarding your son. If you don't think they can work it out, bring an advocate or an independent clinical psychologist to help you make sure the meeting stays on track and that it results in some agreement.

Extractions: In 1980, at age 38, Ron Davis overcame his own severe dyslexia when he found a way to quickly eliminate common perceptual distortions. For the first time in his life, he could read and enjoy a book without struggling. After independent clinical research and working with experts in many fields, Ron Davis perfected his program for correcting dyslexia in adults and children. In 1982, Ron Davis and Dr. Fatima Ali, Ph.D., opened the Reading Research Council Dyslexia Correction Center in California, achieving a 97% success rate in helping clients overcome their learning problems. In 1995, the Davis Dyslexia Association began formally training others to provide the same program. There are now 405 individuals worldwide who have completed training and have met rigorous standards to provide Davis Dyslexia Correction. The principles behind the Davis Dyslexia Correction Program are fully detailed in the book
Extractions: SelfGrowth.com Complete Article Directory Article Send this website to a friend please visit our sponsor Dyslexia and/or ADD equal Speed Reading Giftedness - by George Stancliffe Almost two years ago, a lady who had signed up for one of my speed reading courses showed up early on the first day of class to privately inform me that she had a reading disability, so that I wouldn't be too frustrated at the poor performance that she was expecting in the class. I gave her some words of encouragement and told her that she might do better than she thought she would. I'm glad I encouraged her. She ended the course reading 18,000 words per minute. While it's not uncommon for children to attain such reading speeds, I've only had one adult student in my life who could go faster. Last night I just finished talking to my friend, Troy, who teaches school (in fact, the charter school that he taught at for the past two years has 50% of the students DIAGNOSED with Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD]). He and I have the same hobby: We teach children to speed read. It was nice to find out that Troy has noticed the same pattern that I have noticed in our speed reading students: Some "learning disabled" people are EXTREMELY gifted when it comes to speed reading.
Extractions: FORUM SEARCH CONTACT US SITE MAP SEARCH Smart Drugs and Treatment There are many and varied therapeutic approaches to helping Dyslexics, both medical and non-medical. Before getting into the specifics of medical treatment utilizing prescriptive as well as over-the-counter antihistamines, nutrients, etc., let me first present my understanding as to why these variously-named therapeutic approaches work. To date, the traditionalists cannot accept the various therapies reported helpful in dyslexia, defensively referring to them as "magic cures." In fact, their thinking-brain theories mandate or predict the failure of all therapies that cannot heal or cure the damaged reading processor believed responsible for dyslexia. And no therapy can do this, thus explaining the complete inability of traditionalist theorists to find any medical treatment for dyslexics despite a century of trying. Had these very same researchers been more humble and clinically minded, they might have reasoned differently, as I was eventually forced to do. If indeed these varied non-thinking- brain therapies are helpful, as reported by many respected professionals and patients alike, and if these therapies cannot heal or "cure" the thinking-brain's reading processor, then dyslexia must not be of thinking-brain origin, especially since there currently exists absolutely no neurological evidence supporting a thinking-brain impairment in dyslexics. And were the traditionalists objective theoretically speaking of course then they might have even carried the above reasoning another "giant leap for mankind." If indeed all the reported helpful dyslexia therapies can and do improve inner-ear functioning directly or indirectly then dyslexia most probably is of inner-ear origin, especially since only balance/coordination/rhythmic inner-ear neurological signs and symptoms characterize more than 96% of examined dyslexics.
