CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dyslexia is a language processing problem, not a vision problem, and the valid remedy for dyslexia is targeted language therapy with daily practice, not eye exercises, tinted lenses, or reading glasses. There is simply no valid vision-based shortcut to treating dyslexia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glasses don’t “fix” dyslexia. Leading professional organizations don’t support vision therapy as a treatment for dyslexia. There are many strategies and interventions that do help kids with dyslexia, such as explicit reading instruction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Studies have shown that children with dyslexia often also have binocular vision problems (also called convergence problems). This means that their eyes don’t work together very well. For example, when they’re reading each eye may be looking at a different letter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kids with dyslexia and other reading issues are more likely to power through a book if the topic is of great interest to them. Use audiobooks. Listening to a book while looking at the words can help your child learn to connect the sounds she’s with the words they are seeing. Look for apps and other high-tech help.
