For the Dyslexic student

like your student I would diagnosed late in life and had the same problems. I found a couple of programs on the Internet that have helped me along the way.

The first programme is really for children that you need to start somewhere the program is called clikN Kids
are unfortunately you have to pay this program and it is Internet-based they also do know the program that runs alongside to help you with your spelling.
The next program I've used recently is free at the moment and on the website is called www.cognibeat
this is a visual program helps connecting the broken bits of your mind back together again this is helpful for dyslexia people you do not have to do anything but look at the screen and move the car occasionally.
The other program I use is NaturallySpeaking Dragon version 11 he says a program that you dictate to the word you speak appeared on the screen I have use this program send you this message have not typed one single word of this this message. If your client has got a smart phone or iPod Touch rock opera programs that I would recommend one is Dragon dictation you just simply talk to your device and again the words will appear you need to be connected to the Internet for this to work it is not as good as of Dragon version 11 I'd also recommend a web reader for your iPod Touch or iPhone before you send a message you can have the program leading to back to you on an app called speak it it does the same sort of thing another wrap I would recommend a dyslexic person this site words is give you words to look at and learn was there on your iPhone or iPod touch if you use it time and time again to help you learn the words these all basic words that most people at the age of 11 or so would know how to spell unfortunately those like me who are dyslexic have a major problem with this the words we learn to spell one-day can easily disappear the next it just means you need to keep relearning them time and time again eventually they will stick I hope this helps your client and due to help him at least he has got someone willing to helping or her

all the best

The traditional method is an Orton Approach; you can find more information about Dr. Orton's work here:

http://www.ortonacademy.org/

For a more modern approach, the fallowing program has been proven to change the way the dyslexic brain processes information from reading:

Here at dyslexiaconsultants.com we created a program to bring you�re a dyslexic students writing and reading skills up to the college level. It takes about 200 hours of instruction.
