Dyslexia /dis-lex'-ee-uh/ is a specific learning disability caused by irregularities in the visual and auditory centers of the brain, resulting in imperfect processing, storage and recall of words read, written, spoken and heard. Dyslexia is frustrating for students, teachers, and parents because success is elusive in spite of earnest will, effort, practice, extra instruction, and an average to high IQ.
Because the brain has amazing capacity, we employ stronger areas of a dyslexic's brain to process, store, and recall linguistic information. This is done through a series of cognitive, multi-sensory exercises. Think of it as physical therapy to learn language. It is language therapy that occurs in a specific order, proven to accomplish lasting mastery of the foundations of reading, writing, spelling, listening and speaking. Success is measured by a student's proficiency and independence.
