            <title>Jan 20, How to overcome writing problems part 5</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#How-to-overcome-writing-problems-part-5</link><guid isPermaLink="false">78b2b824e4f1ea564396888dab7ee9c0</guid><description>Let us first look at the primary differences between the neurological brain activity of general education students, and dyslexic students.  The images below, please note the differences between the dyslexic brain and the non-impaired brain. These images are from research conducted by The Yale Center for Dyslexia &amp; (http://dyslexia.yale.edu/Policy_ADA.html).

“In 2007 – function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was able to peer inside the brain as a person read. Brain imaging provides clear and compelling evidence that Dyslexia is real: brain systems for reading differ in typical and in dyslexic readers’ neural signature for dyslexia”.

As you can see the images above and scientific explanations appear to be extraordinarily complicated, which they are. However, once you understand the general principle of how the brain works then we can greatly simplify this extraordinarily complex neuroscience into a simple system that will allow general education students who are struggling writers, and dyslexic students to quickly improve their reading and writing skills.</description>

The program has also been found to be effective with general education students who are struggling with their writing, as a significant part of the Writing Methods basic program was developed based on the research of Dr. James L. Collins. Dr. Collins’ book, Strategies for Struggling Writers, was designed to help general education students who are having difficulties with writing.</description>

The results were presented in 2006 to the New York City branch of the International Dyslexia Association, and are summarized below: 

•	Motivated dyslexic High School juniors and seniors were typically 3 to 4 years behind their general education peers in writing.
•	Most dyslexic students score 2’s, and a few 3’s, on the GRE Analytical Writing Section pretest.  This is in the 0 to 6th percentiles.
•	Dyslexic students increased their posttest scores by 2 points - to 4’s and 5’s on the posttests.  This is approximately in the 30th to 70th percentiles.
•	We followed a few students through college; their GPA’s ranged from mid 2’s to 3.6.  The dyslexic students described their writing skills as comparable to their general education peers.</description>

            <title>Oct 23, Dyslexia Is Primarily Not a Reading and Writing Problems</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#Dyslexia-Is-Primarily-Not-a-Reading-and-Writing-Problems</link><guid isPermaLink="false">4bf12ae4e933873092936ad05771556b</guid><description>Hello to all our fateful readers, I have some interesting news for everyone today. Dyslexia is primarily an organizational problem for dyslexic students, dyslexic students reading and writing problems are secondary.

I can hear what many of my readers are thinking now, &quot;what do you mean that dyslexia is not primarily a reading and writing problems? This is what researchers in the field have told us for decades?&quot;

The answer is quite simple, if you look at research conducted at the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity you will note that the back part of the dyslexic brain has much less neural activity than that of general education minds.

However, the front part of the dyslexic students mind, the part that deals with higher order thinking skills and organization, appears to have 3 to 4 times the neural activity of a general education students mind.

Tomorrow, we will further the discussion on this point.</description>

            <title>Feb 16, Step 1 with 6 year old dyslexic</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#Step-1-with-6-year-old-dyslexic</link><guid isPermaLink="false">ccfb960b56c6805e8f7536b5711acf2f</guid><description>Giovanna, Mathias mother, has a 60-credit master’s degree, and works in the New York City public school district.  She told me that Mathias teachers could have an adult conversation with Mathias.  After talking with Mathias on Skype I found that he likes to talk about motorbikes.  During these conversations I noted that in comparison to other subjects, Mathias understanding of motor bikes far exceeded his understanding of subjects that he was not as interested in.

Please note that dyslexic tend to be specialists in academics; well excel in a narrow area.  General education students tend to be, comparatively, generalists, that can do well in most, or all subjects.  This fact is that Mathias has extensive knowledge of motor bikes.  Now, let’s use all that extreme brain activity in the front part of his mind to correct his reading and writing problems.

Step one, I asked Mathias if he know what an opinion and a fact are.  A fact is true; Albany is the capital of New York State.  An opinion is subjective, example, running is boring.  I first asked Mathias, on the subject of motor bikes, if my statement was an opinion or a fact, during our first session.  Mathias picked this up very fast.</description>

            <title>Feb 16, New process to help 6 year old dylsexic student read</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#New-process-to-help-6-year-old-dylsexic-student-read</link><guid isPermaLink="false">14d89f03f702fe03b0a5b235663c08dd</guid><description>Concerning Mathias, I do not wish to upset the field, however, current educational theories in how to teach dyslexic elementary school students are not efficient, and cause’s a lot of undo frustration for dyslexic elementary school students.  What you must first understand is that the dyslexic functions drastically different then general education students brains.  Please see the fallowing brain scan, conducted by Yale researchers:

http://dyslexia.yale.edu/Policy_ADA.html

Yes, I understand that everyone is now trying to fix the back part of the dyslexic brain, to make it more active, see the work of the fallowing company:

http://www.scilearn.com/

However, this is not the most efficient and effective method.  Please note the extensive brain activity in the front part of the dyslexic brain, compared to the non-impaired brain.  Why not use this extra brain activity to solve Mathias reading and writing problems?</description>

I am here today to start blogging about two major projects that we are working on right now.  The first is to teach a 6-year-old boy, Mathias, to overcome dyslexia.  Mathias has a form of dyslexia, is very smart, and is currently attending Kindergarten at a public school in New York State.  Mathias mother, Giovanna, has kindly given me permission to document Mathias progress in overcoming dyslexia.  

The second project is taking our basic writing course, which quickly resolves most of the writing problems motivated dyslexic high school and college students, and turn the course into a video course for the City University of New York.  We are making our courses, in a video form, permanently and freely available to all qualified CUNY students because most CUNY students have significant financial challenges.  So let’s begin.</description>

            <title>Dec  4, How The Dyslexic Brain Functions Differently From General Education Students Brains</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#How-The-Dyslexic-Brain-Functions-Differently-From-General-Education-Students-Brains</link><guid isPermaLink="false">744d3581863cfe6f5f9cd8c7c2aa7dfe</guid><description>I would first like to thank the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity for conducting groundbreaking research in how the dyslexic brain functions differently than general education student’s brains.  I am directing my readings to please fully study there website to acquire a better understanding about dyslexia.  

In particular please visit the fallowing webpage (http://dyslexia.yale.edu/Policy_WhyChange.html).  Please note that the back part of the dyslexic brain has significantly less brain activity then the general education student’s brain.  This is an area where that a significant number of researchers have focused on, to try and change the brain function of dyslexic students to look more like general education students.

However, I disagree that this is the most efficient way to help dyslexic students overcome most of their writing and reading problems.  Please note that the front part of the dyslexic students mind has much more brain activity then the general education students mind.   Why not use this extra frontal brain activity to overcome most of the dyslexic students writing and reading problems.  Then help the dyslexic student develop ideas so that they can make a significant contribution to society?

In the next blog post I will start to explain how to do this.</description>

The answer is yes, and over the next several months I will be explain how.

To protect the identity of former dyslexic students that we worked with, I will be referring to composite, made up student, John.  I will explain how the dyslexic brain functions differently, then how to correct the dyslexic students writing problem, reading problems, then how the dyslexic student can come up with their big idea to contribute to society.

            <title>Oct 24, Brief review of The State University of New York at Albany.</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#Brief-review-of-The-State-University-of-New-York-at-Albany</link><guid isPermaLink="false">40976edc6501e80ffd52db93c0f008bc</guid><description>I recently spoke with Carolyn Malloch, assistant director of SUNY Albany’s Disability Resource Center.  According to Carolyn Malloch, she often works with dyslexic students who are having trouble making the transition from high school to a competitive university.  After working with students on time management skills, essay writing, and reading skills dyslexic students often increase their grades on exams to the 80’s.

What impressed me the most about Carolyn Malloch was the extensive support in all subjects that SUNY Albany offers their dyslexic students.  If you need considerable assistant, and wish to study at a completive large public university, the please contact SUNY Albany below for more information.

            <title>Sep  8, Dyslexia and legal action</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#Dyslexia-and-legal-action</link><guid isPermaLink="false">a9c0a409eb48ec35c3fd30b263190715</guid><description>Question:

I believe my child has dyslexia. She has barely passed each grade at school and is in the 5th grade. We have requested dyslexia testing and been told school do not test for that but we did get her an ADD diagnosis of inattentive type. my daughter is very well behaved and yet struggles daily with her work. I do not have the $900 + dollars to get her a private test. What can I do to help her?

Answer:

I am sorry to say that you may need to take legal action.  Not only is the school required to provide the testing, but the school is also required to provide a reasonable education.  Here is the controlling case on this issue:

Barbara Esham was able to take complicated subject matter in relation to spelling and dyslexia, and write the information in such a way that any elementary school student can relate to the information.  If you have children that need to understand the effects of dyslexia, please read this book.</description>

However, it is the effect of the others telling the dyslexic student that they are stupid, repeatedly, that can cause depression.

I went through this growing up; I was the &quot;stupid dyslexic&quot;.  It is hard, but it must be done, to tell the dyslexic student to concentrate on what they are good at.  Given the structural changes in the both the United States, and world economy, this is sound advice.  

Going forward each of us will need to show the unique strengths that we each have, and how this can help the company we work for.  This is where a dyslexic, focusing on the students strengths, has a significant advantage of their general education peers.

            <title>Aug  9, Dyslexia and typing for students</title>
            <link>http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/dyslexia-solutions-blog.html#Dyslexia-and-typing-for-students</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68e0e1260f764e136eb4351fc70158f4</guid><description>It is necessary for dyslexic's students to learn to type.  I have worked with many dyslexic students to help them overcome their writing problems, and I found that when students type their writing greatly improves. 

Instead of having trouble physically trying to write out the letters to a work, with typing the student just pressed a button.  Spell and grammar checking is much easier as well, allowing the student to concentrate on learning to become a better writer.

As a dyslexic I learned typing the way I normally learn information, backwards.  I started at the end of the book and worked backwards.  This drove my teacher nuts, but it worked well for me.  Your son needs the freedom to learn in his own style, so bring this point up with his teacher.  If that does not work try the board of education, that always worked with my parents.
