Self Management Tools
for Overcoming Dyslexia
Is this program right for you?
You Can Look Forward To:
- Discovering the "up" side of dyslexia, and the benefits of this perceptual talent
- Improved comprehension while reading and listening
- Increased ease with spelling and handwriting
- Greater self-confidence at school or on the job
- Better "focus" on tasks, with less strain
- Continued improvement of reading, spelling, communication and attention after the initial, intensive program
- Improved balance and spatial coordination
The Program Provides:
Assessment — to determine if the tools and methods offered by Multi-Mode Learning are a good match for the individual's needs and goals.
A Customized Program —
- Designed to meet client goals
- Suited to client age (children, adolescents, adults)
- With options for clinical and/or at-home strategies
Includes —
- Self-Management tools to clear up perception. The individual learns to clear up confusion and develop a sense of certainty with symbols, words, and concepts.
- Self-Management tools for calming the 'flight-or-flee' response; students recognize when confusion creates a stress response that interferes with focus and clarity.
- Mastery of symbols used in reading and writing (including letters and punctuation).
- Mastery of key words--Certain words lack strong visual images, creating "blank spots" for the dyslexic reader. Mastering the definition and spelling of these words help fill in those 'blanks.'
- "Brain Training" Exercises--for reading. These exercises train the visual system in left-to-right scanning, beginning with individual letters then moving to words.
- Word-to-Picture Exercises that utilize the client's natural picture-thinking strength to improve comprehension
- Follow-up Action Plan, drafted with the client, to create a strategy for ongoing improvement
- Training for a support person to assist in follow-up
Kit of tools used during the program, which may include: Program manual, dictionary, grammar book, modeling clay, KooshTM Balls, listening CD's and more.
