Dyslexia and what now?
Dyslexia test
Often on the advice of school, you have a dyslexia test done. Before a child is eligible for this, a lot of extra time has been spent in school according to the protocol, and the extra help has not produced any results. The backlog is getting bigger. This is where the first social-emotional problems arise, such as fear of failure, a negative self-image, limiting beliefs, concentration problems, with stomach aches to school etc.
If it has been discovered that your child has dyslexia according to the set standards, he or she is eligible for dyslexia treatment.
Sometimes the learning problem is just not bad enough, and no dyslexia declaration is issued (the conditions have recently been tightened up again so that fewer children are eligible for reimbursed dyslexia help). No explanation means no extra guidance for your child. Not at school and not via a reimbursed route at a dyslexia institute. Then you are left empty-handed because you see that your child is not stupid, but also that it gets stuck at school and becomes increasingly unhappy.
Dyslexia treatment
If you are lucky, your child will be eligible for dyslexia treatment, which is reimbursed by the municipality. Either within the school, with an outpatient counsellor. The question is whether this treatment can be started immediately because there are often long waiting lists.
A dyslexia treatment means that your child is offered material for 40 to 60 weeks a week, which is again focused on a left-oriented learning style. They continue with what turned out not to be appropriate for the child at school. Practising this matter at least 25 minutes a day at home is also a part of that.
The results of this treatment are very limited. Certainly when you look at how many contact hours are in return. Why? Because people are unable to discover that your child has a different learning style. This is called a neurological abnormality of your child, but there is a lack of a correct learning method to be able to help these children with a right-oriented learning style in an adequate way.
Incidentally, a child is only eligible for the reimbursement scheme for dyslexia treatment if it has single dyslexia. "Single" means that in addition to dyslexia, the student does not have one or more other (learning) disorders (comorbidity). For example, if someone has ever given your child the ADD or ADHD label, then you are not eligible for reimbursement. How many children fall out of the boat because of this? Does a child with ADD / ADHD not need help with reading and writing? Or is it also just a possible feature of a right-oriented learning style, and is it simply impossible for regular practitioners to handle it?
Tools dyslexia
In addition to dyslexia treatment, many aids are available. Examples are the Daisy player (a device intended for listening to daisy-roms - a disc on which spoken text is stored according to a specific structure - specially developed for use by the visually impaired), and dyslexia software such as EasyTutor, Sprint Plus and Kurzweil 3000. Software that provides your computer with speech synthesis that speaks everything you select with the computer mouse. With some software, the words are highlighted during the reading aloud. This directs the gaze and would encourage active reading. Expensive tools that earn a lot of money and whose effectiveness has certainly not been proven. Mindfulness and neurofeedback are also expensive treatments that promise great results but often fail.
All the above treatments and aids assume that there is a deficiency - a neurological disorder - in the child. And that is the big difference with the Core Vision method.
The Core Vision method assumes that children who are dyslexic have a different learning style, a learning style that does not adequately match how the school provides the information. They do not automate in the usual way, and that is the central problem. If we continue to offer curriculum material wrongly for the child, social-emotional issues will result.
The Core Vision method allows a child to learn naturally from his strength: by teaching a child to interpret teaching material in such a way that it is absorbed through the right hemisphere. In a short time, a child sees that it is capable of learning and capable of automation.
We reach out and "drop a quarter". We are not going to cure; we practice at home. At the same time, your child will be guided in such a way that the social and emotional problems are tackled and a pleasant learning environment is created for your child.
