Subject: Re: Surprised Author: Jordan (Happy) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:52:04 04/29/10 Thu In reply to: Valerie 's message, "Surprised" on 12:54:39 04/13/10 Tue Yes, I have read a book Gift of Dyslexia by Ron Davis and it is great ! Gives a lot of explanation about LD , as well as a hope and believe that with appropriate therapy/learning it could be overcome . I even call a Davis method facilitator here in Vancouver BC , had a very nice talk about whole approach/help. I'm waiting yet for standard tests to be done , before I have make any decision which program/help to take . Price of testing is about 2800 $ Can (privately) same or similar as Davis method approach (price). And I have a great hope in it, it sounds believable and logical to me , but first I have to learn if my darling child has dyslexia or not . All the best , and again book is GREAT!

[> Subject: Re: Surprised Author: Heidi Nord (Happy Teachers Make Happy Students) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:51:11 05/01/10 Sat The book Gift of Dyslexia is a book and program many people rave about. I don't know much about that specific program, but I do know what definitely works: What is called an "Otron-Gilllingham" program (there are about 10 out there). Dyslexia is largely based on a phonological processing deficit. it is easy to diagnose, and does not have to be really costly, depending on how many sub-tests you want, and whether or not you would like a written report. I work with students on-line, through video conferencing, and can test your child in this way. Go to www.napareading.com to find out more! Good luck to you!
