FLOWCHART TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE DYSLEXIC CHILD BETTER.


Perception Clarity::The first step is learning to turn off disorientation to focus the perceptions which implies explaining an easily learned mental exercise that allows dyslexics to accurately recognize printed symbols.
Symbol Mastery: A stress-free way for dyslexics to learn the basics of written language should be practically implemented. Students model symbols and word concepts in clay--a multi-sensory process that enables them to exercise their creativity.
Spell-Reading: For dyslexic students who have never been able to read, presents a new approach that trains the student in left to right eye movement in reading, and helps them recognize letter groups as words.



Learning Difficulties:

Learning disability of dyslexia is caused by the successful use of visual thinking skills at an early age. This "gift" works well for recognizing real life objects, but not printed symbols such as alphabet letters and words. Disorientation is turned on by confusion, so the stress and invalidation typically encountered during the early school years compound the problem. Mental tricks are adopted to give the appearance of learning. Loss of self-esteem causes many dyslexics to adopt ingenious methods to hide their learning disability.



Its Correction

Provides tools to overcome problems with reading, writing, and attention focus. These methods enable children and adults to recognize and control the mental processes that cause distorted perceptions of letters and words. Once students can be sure that their perceptions are accurate, they can resolve the underlying cause of their learning difficulties through methods that build upon their creative and imaginative strengths.

Children with learning difficulties tend to be more visually stimulated and also tend to be more curious, creative, and intuitive than average. They tend to be highly aware of the environment, inventive, and good at real world tasks. Their special mode of thought also produces the gift of mastery: once they have learned something experientially, they understand it on such a deep level that they know how to do things intuitively without thinking about how.
