Many dyslexics have learned to overcome their barriers, permitting them to accomplish their goals. They can even learn to thrive. But before this can happen, parents must understand what dyslexia is, know how to recognize it in their children, and know where to get their children the help and support they need to face this challenge. They say it improves reading ability by training a specific part of the brain. The Helsinki-based team hopes to make the software available worldwide.
Scientists say they have discovered the biological basis for dyslexia.
Research published in Science magazine suggests that parts of the brain crucial to reading are not working properly in dyslexics. Children with dyslexia could be helped by the introduction of special movements and exercises into school sports lessons, research suggests. Special routines, designed to tap into reflexes from birth, lead to better co-ordination which in turn can improve reading and writing skills, according to psychologist Martin McPhillips.
