Improve Emotional Health
Dyslexia is not an IQ deficit. The constant stress of working too hard is keenly felt. Thus, it is very important to provide helpful ways to relieve stress and cope with our emotions. Anything that puts pressure on your body or hands, even in those who avoid touch, feel increased calmness.
Parents
If you are a parents and see your child become too physical, let them know they must need a hug. At first they will resist, but then you will feel them relax. Once they do, I ask if they are ready for me to let go. I encourage them to use their words instead of their hands. If needed, I role model.

Diminishing Dyslexia with Auditory Integration Training
After Auditory Integration Training, clients gradually experience improved sound tolerance and clarity of speech. As the auditory system strengthens, your mind starts to feel calmer helping you focus and enjoy the moment.
About a year after auditory integration training with vision therapy, clients experienced improved academic performance. Additional improvements are seen in expressive speech, self-esteem, and socialization at home and away from home.
Visual Processing Difficulties Found in Students with Dyslexia
Overall, numerous studies found a higher rate of visual processing difficulties in students with a diagnosis of dyslexia when compared to typically developing students.
Thus far, all my clients with a diagnosis of dyslexia struggled with visual processing difficulties and sound intolerance.
Keeping vision single and clear decreases reading comprehension because the brain is too busy keeping vision clear to remember what you just read.
When there are food allergies, food sensitivities, or chronic congestion, decreased sound stimulation to the hearing system increases the risk for developmental delays. Each milestone of development occurs within certain timeframes. When something interrupts development, direct intervention and purposeful play teach those skills.
There is hope. Work with Cheri to learn more, receive advocacy help and support through referrals; understanding test results and create an action plan.
The infant’s eyes are turned towards a sound, an auditory-visual skill. From birth through childhood, auditory and visual skills develop sequentially resulting in instinctive movements.
