Subject: Re: Surprised Author: Heidi Nord (Happy Teachers Make Happy Students) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04:51:11 05/01/10 Sat In reply to: Valerie 's message, "Surprised" on 12:54:39 04/13/10 Tue 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!

[> Subject: Re: Surprised Author: Sara [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:52:52 05/07/10 Fri If you read The Gift of Dyslexia and it touches a chord with you, then it is worth exploring further. The methods are very different from most others. They are very person-centred and build on the strengths of a visual-thinker.By understanding how the dyslexic thinks and how to self-manage your thought processes, it becomes possible to achieve many literacy goals. You can work from the book which is why it has a sort of 'script' in the back, get a kit&manual from the www.dyslexia.com website or work with a licensed Facilitator. My son did a programme and the results for him, and the effect on us as family, were so significant that I trained to become a Davis Facilitator!
