10 sessions can Change your life!
providing vital support & successful treatment for people with Reading & Learning Difficulties, & Visual Dyslexia for over 36 years
Diagnosis:
An Initial Assessment explores a client’s history, and includes an Optical Examination.
This is to determine if eye issues related to Learning Difficulties and/or Visual Dyslexia are present. It includes examining the focus point of each eye and looking at how the brain reads what the eyes see. Clients with Dyslexia symptoms will typically have unsteady fixation of the focus point of one of their eyes. This will also mean they have suppression occurring in the Visual Cortex section of their brain.
Even if clients present with 20/20 'eyesight', that does not mean they have 20/20 'vision'.
Good vision is an interplay between the eyes and the brain, and includes: visual acuity/focusing, binocular vision, eye movements, and the effective processing of visual perception.
A steady eye / brain connection is integral to good literacy outcomes.
Treatment consists of 10 x 1 hour sessions
If diagnosed, treatment is offered and the client will need to determine the schedule they are able to commit to. Time pressures, availability, and the age of the client can inform the speed at which treatment may progress. This will be discussed with your Remedial Dyslexia Therapist at the time of booking . Some options include:
Treatment Options:
2 sessions a week for 5 weeks, 3 to 4 sessions a week over 3-4 weeks, or Mon-Fri over 2 weeks
Treatment Sessions:
Each appointment concentrates on correcting the problem of unsteady fixation in the eye, along with a high level of vision training to strengthen the eye muscles. The successful resolution of unsteady fixation is achieved with the Lawson Anti-Suppression Device (LASD), and the use of educational worksheets, and a workbook to enhance clients visual memory training, and the building of literacy skills. Once started, treatment cannot be interrupted, and no more than 7 days between sessions can occur.
Eye Training Methods Include:
Focus correction, visual cortex anti-suppression techniques, near/mid/distance focus strengthening, 3D depth perception development, eye strengthening, and improved eye tracking and eye teaming.
Literacy and Eye Training Methods Include:
Engagement of the visual cortex and frontal lobe, visual memory building and strengthening, a letter formation and spacing method, spatial reasoning exercises, hand/eye writing and copying skills, coordination building, and syllable tracking and chunking processes.
Literacy Training Methods Include:
An effective spelling technique, review of sound blend knowledge, a productive transcription and writing method, engagement with: punctuation, grammar rules, reading methods, varied narratives, and math concepts, number sequencing, and times tables.
Process:
The 7 varied discs of the LASD are utilised throughout Treatment. This stimulates all the layers of the Visual Cortex (the control centre of the eyes within the brain), whilst simultaneously fixing any unsteady eye focus, and strengthening eye teaming and eye tracking.
Results:
Resolution of symptoms occur. Literacy work is used to stimulate the frontal lobe so that over the 10 treatment sessions, smooth and improved eye / brain functioning is created for each client. The eyes and the brain now work well together, with steady binocular fixation.
Conclusion:
Reading, Writing, Concentration, and all necessary literacy skills are vastly improved!
