Dyslexia - Management

Management

There is no cure for dyslexia, but dyslexic individuals can learn to read and write with educational support. There are techniques and technical aids that can manage or even conceal symptoms of the disorder. Removing stress and anxiety alone can improving written comprehension.

For dyslexia intervention with alphabet writing systems the fundamental aim is to increase a child's awareness of correspondences between graphemes and phonemes, and to relate these to reading and spelling. It has been found that training focused towards visual language and orthographic issues yields longer-lasting gains than mere oral phonological training.

There is some evidence that the use of specially tailored fonts may provide some measure of assistance for those suffering from dyslexia. Intervention early on while language areas in the brain are still developing is most successful in reducing long-term impacts of dyslexia.
