Treatment of Dyslexia

Dyslexia can be substantially compensated for with proper therapy, training, and equipment.

Only traditional educational remedial techniques have any record of improving the reading ability of those identified with dyslexia.

Treatment

Remedial efforts focusing on phonological awareness training can improve reading skills. For example breaking words into their basic sounds. And rearranging these sounds to produce different words.

Early intervention

The earlier the phonological regimen is taken on, the better the overall result.

Visual stress reduction

There is evidence that colored lenses, any visual training, or similar proposed treatments may be of use. It will depend on the phonological and visual components of the particular patient’s problem.

I keep getting these terrible headaches. How do I stop them?

For a while, I suffered from persistent, recurrent headaches that only taking Nurofen could shift. I found my headaches came down to a few things. Eyestrain Lack of rest, especially the eyes, Dirty glasses Lighting coming from behind the tv/monitor, a bit like an eclipse The brain Lack of water, drink water without crap in it. Crap = flavours, additives etc. Caffeine withdrawal, caffeine pills Alcohol dries out the brain, drink more water The body Poor posture, sit upright adjust your keyboard monitor, seat properly, and foot rest Take regular breaks, from working Get the right amount of sleep for you. Varies between 6 - 10 hours because of age, gender, and recent activity It took me months to clear all the crap out of the system. The biggest threat to my brain was my favourite fizzy orange drink. When I really had a look at the back I was surprised to see so many e numbers it made my head spin. I now don’t use Nurofen or g...

Stop being derailed

How I keep on track, and not loose cool thoughts as they happen. You need. An extra price of paper and a writing tool. Label it with the date and the title, 'side track'. Place it to the side of your main work. Why? I often loose focus. My mind wanders and wants to explore new and fresh ideas. This is an amazing asset. To think of new ideas easily and freely. Yet this can eat into your productivity. Stops you accomplishing your main goals. And may cause unescesary stress. Yet, all you I need is a piece of paper to keep myself back on track. When I start work I often have those 'aha moments. But this creates a conflict. I want to complete my main task. And stay on track. I know completing the work I set out to do is the best way to move ahead. But I also want to explore that new idea. Who knows where it may lead, right? How? I take the new thought and note it separately. I put this on my sidetrack. I place shopping, errands, thoughts, projects, social media...

Learning Difficulty vs Disability

Learning difficulty Vs Learning Difficulty I came across this "difference" when first talking about my dyslexia to the DWP. It seemed that during the application for access to work on working tax credits, my dyslexia was not a disability, but a difficulty. Access to work is a secret UK government working disability program were once employed, either self-employed or otherwise, the government looks at ways to reduce the stress of working. During my email assessment in 2017; I was hard for the assessor to convince me that my dyslexia was not disabling enough, to be called a disability. Because the access to work part of the DWP does not think like the rest of the DWP. After repeating this statement below several times, access to work then accepted my(rest of DWP and world) explanation of dyslexia as a disability. 1) Are you disabled as defined under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995? Yes. Dyslexia is a recognised difficulty under Equality Act 2010, replacin...
