dysTalk Alternative Interventions Solutions For Dyslexia - Dyslexia - Forum - dysTalk

Following on from Professor Bishops talk on alternative interventions for dyslexia it would be great to hear some thoughts on what non-traditional approaches (such as the Dore Programme) have / have not worked in helping with dyslexia.

Please do share your experiences regarding how effective or disappointing such solutions have been.

I started a free exercise programme in a mainstream school 7 years ago. 120 children later I have had a phenomenol success. I went to the Dore centre and this is great if you have the money. it was (5 years ago) £1,500 just to screen and hundreds for up to three years to keep going. I realised that in europe children start school at 6-7 years old, here we start at 3 when some childrens motor skills are not developed. Because of this we can not learn as you need your body to be balanced and co-ordinated for the same to happen to the brain. Children are usually dignosed at a late stage when difficulties are imbedded and schools have exausted all areas of support. I take children showing difficulties in reception and develop underdeveloped motor skills as the same time they start learning so they dont get behind. I screened all special needs children and they all had some degree of motor skills difficulties. Children being investigated for ADHD, Autism/aspergers, dyslexia, learnin/behaviour difficulties were no longer once their motors had been corrected. We do this for free, with other children, with quality teaching alongside and the most positive outcome is we prevent a label. And most of all we dont take advantage of parents who are emotional and vulnerable and would sell their own mother to give their child the best.

I have an alternate solution for the minority of dyslexics that can describe visual problems that make reading difficult. See Right Dyslexia Glasses use the different approach of being universal visual dyslexia glasses. This eliminates the need for the personal evaluation and increases the success rate so that a money back guarantee can be offered .For more information about visual dyslexia and the See Right Dyslexia Glasses visit www.dyslexiaglasses.com .

For the majority of dyslexics without visual dyslexia I've collected a series of links to free dyslexia help programs, products and services. the addresses http://dyslexiaglasses.com/links.html . Most dyslexics will find something of interest on the page . For those that are interested in seeing a step-by-step teaching program for young dyslexics there a link to a free program for children K- 3 with free downloadable worksheets.

So you know the benefits of exercise based intervention and knowing this you are doing what you rightly feel duty-bound to do by making the intervention available to those who need it.You presumably get paid to teach or work in your school therefore you are not actually offering it free of charge.You might also stop to consider how other special needs children (who are not at your school) will get access to movement-based intervention other than by paying professionals to provide it or do you think that they should not be paid?.In reality during the interum whilst children wait for the rest of the dyslexia/SpLd professionals to catch up movement based intervention will not be available by any other means.It is extremely misleading, damaging and potentially detrimental to those children who could benefit to imply that vulnerable parents are being exploited.

Dyslexia is not a condition but a symptom and a symptom that will always occur together with such other symptoms as dyspraxia and attention deficit. To treat them effectively we must look at the postnatal development of the brain and pinpoint areas that are delayed in their development. It is my belief that stressors like birth interventions, foetal distress, diet, etc., may delay development by stopping the epigenome (the switches that turn on/off genes)from working correctly. There is more information about this on my website on the Research page - http://www.tinsleyhouseclinic.co.uk
