Dyslexia Discovery

Welcome:  You have come upon a blog whose focus is primarily offering tools for dyslexics and hyperlexics. I have both conditions.  The material is also germane for parents and therapists.  The topic, this time, is hyperlexia and dyslexia on-line resources.

This website provides details on the Masgutova Method – an approach that considers the health of reflexes of a child and an adult. Her techniques to correct under-developed reflexes was a major component in my overcoming the negatives of hyperlexia.

An excellent support group for parents, therapists interested in or working with the Masgutova Method.

I came across this website.  It has an interesting article on dyslexia, hyperlexia and other topics. The author is succinct in her presentation and the information useful.  

http://www.interdys.org/    An international organization focussed only on dyslexia.  It’s large and has a major annual meeting. I find the information they offer is very limited in scope.  They are hesitant to introduce any approaches that have not been through the scientific process.  As a result they are not a progressive group.

If you have topics that you would like me to address about my experience in overcoming dyslexia and hyperlexia feel free to send your ideas through the comments below. __________________________________________________________
