Abstract
Results of treatment of severe dyslexia in 80 children, ages 6 to 15 years, using hemisphere stimulation technics, are reported from the outpatient Department for Dyslexia, Child Psychiatric Center, Paedological Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Highlights
Treatment was tailored for each child, depending on the type of dyslexia, according to the Bakker (1990) P/L classification as follows: P type - right hemisphere readers, using perceptual-spatial features of text; L type - left hemisphere preference, using lingual aspects of text
About 40% are unclassified, but an inappropriate or nonoptimal hemisphere preference is considered the basis for the dyslexia in the majority of subjects
The very slow readers who had not mastered grapheme-phoneme conversion received a short period of home mediation therapy to facilitate automatic mastery of letter-sound correspondence
Summary
Results of treatment of severe dyslexia in 80 children, ages 6 to 15 years, using hemisphere stimulation technics, are reported from the outpatient Department for Dyslexia, Child Psychiatric Center, Paedological Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Treatment was tailored for each child, depending on the type of dyslexia, according to the Bakker (1990) P/L classification as follows: P type - right hemisphere readers, using perceptual-spatial features of text (slow, fragmented, but relatively accurate); L type - left hemisphere preference, using lingual (semantic and syntactic) aspects of text (inaccurate, hasty, reading technic). About 40% are unclassified, but an inappropriate or nonoptimal hemisphere preference is considered the basis for the dyslexia in the majority of subjects.
