Dyslexia Games Therapy
Dyslexia Games is based on the latest research
and newest discoveries that have unlocked mysteries of how dyslexics learn.
"Understanding the Mind is the Key to Overcoming Dyslexia"
~By Sarah J Brown (Puzzle Designer for Dyslexia Games)
A Different Kind of Mind:
Brain Imaging studies* reveal a remarkable absence of activity in the Left Temporal Lobe of the Dyslexic person's brain, when compared to normal readers. Several independent studies have revealed a disorganization of fiber bundles located in the Left Parieto-temporal Region of the brain, along with neurons positioned so they can not function normally. These factors are assumed to cause the phonological and visual processing deficits associated with Dyslexia. Studies also show that the right hemisphere of the Dyslexic person's brain contains normal networks of neurons that have the potential to take over the literary process.
The human brain is constantly changing and rebuilding itself. It contains millions of redundant circuits that are able to compensate for deficiencies and provide for the opportunity to overcome Dyslexia. Every time a child engages in a learning session new connections are made, neuronal circuits are altered, and new networks for literacy and learning are created.
When we talk about the Dyslexic Brain we can say, "Oh no! Something is wrong with my child's brain!" But in fact nothing is wrong, just beautifully different. Dyslexics are known for being quite intelligent, exceptionally creative, and capable of adapting to challenging circumstances. Throughout history we discover that people with symptoms of Dyslexia have become some of the world's greatest artists, thinkers, inventors, and scientists. Their ability to think outside the box is a powerful tool that allows them to become exceptional individuals who have a habit of changing the world. Thank God for the gift of Dyslexia!
Impact of Therapy on the Dyslexic Brain:
Brain imaging shows us that intensive cognitive intervention has a positive impact on the Dyslexic Mind. After several weeks of literacy intervention two major changes in the brain are observed: Normalization and Compensation.
After rehabilitation for Dyslexia there is an increase of activity in several regions of the right hemisphere of the brain. Where there is a lack of activity in the left hemisphere, fMRI imaging shows that corresponding regions in the right hemisphere take over. The right side contains undamaged networks that can be tapped into for the purpose of reading.
*Brain Imaging Studies:
Brain imaging provides us with a means of photographing the brain and watching it as it works. There are several different methods of imaging that have been used in the research of Dyslexia:

Today's Q&A
Q. "My child is bright, inquisitive, and creative. Why does he struggle so much with his schoolwork?"
A. Maybe your child has a unique style of learning. Textbooks and classrooms may work well for some kids, but many children need to learn through discovery, creative processes and play. These kids think outside the box. They live outside the box. They LEARN outside the Box."
"Unfortunately many of these active and creative children end up with labels, and not a lot of help. One thing is certain: such children have vivid, active and creative minds. They have so much potential!"
"To help your child thrive you need to provide a method of learning that focuses on your child's strengths and abilities, and tap into those gifts! Does your child love to learn through discovery? We have created Dyslexia Games to help kids like yours to develop important reading, writing and spelling skills- while having fun drawing and solving puzzles. We offer two sets of activity books, packed with hundreds of mind teasers, pattern games and art lessons. Our Games have proven to help many kids that nothing else seemed to work for.
"We are excited to offer this chance to your child too! Introduce your child to Dyslexia Games today- and end the frustration! Is it time for a new beginning? Empower your child, and open pathways for learning by providing your child with a Dyslexia Games worksheet before starting on other school work or homework. Watch your child succeed!" (More)
