Developmental Verbal Dyslexia in Early Intervention and Childhood
Course Objectives, Outcomes & Course Agenda

Described more than a century ago, dyslexia is a deficit of language processing which affects one in five children in the United States, Designated as a neurodiversity, which means that the brain processes information differently to others which is likely due to atypical neurological circuitry between several areas of the brain relating to cognition, speech and memory, and resulting in suboptimal processing – hindering the phonological representation of phonemes and an impaired ability to convertgraphemes to phonemes, and other signs and symptoms of dyslexia, as well as the imperative role of the occupational therapist  vis-a-vis fine motor & adaptive skills in the child with concomitant dysgraphia.

Many brain modalities and function must simultaneously execute phonics, phonemic and phonological awareness and pathway, phonologic decoding, word-analyzer, morphemes, graphemes, orthographic decoding, vocabulary, memory retrieval, cognition, comprehension, orthographic mapping, auditory and visual processing, and speech production – all in a precise and timed sequence so as to enable the miracle of reading.

More boys present with dyslexia only because boys are (1.5 times) more likely to get noticed when venting their frustrations by acting out, often leading to behavior disturbances and impacting on their psychosocial development. gifted with enhanced (right hemisphere) visual-spatial or artistic skills, may convey certain survival advantage in pre-literate societies. The actual prevalence of the disorder is nearly identical in the two genders, and those affected are often Dyslexic children often have lack of motivation, emotional or behavioral problems, and sensory impairment. The majority of children identified with dyslexia are between the ages of 11 and 17 years of age. Today, more than 3 million students in the United States cannot read – mostly due to dyslexia, which shows no racial preference, but tends to run in families, and has genetic influences.

Because the foundation for learned components of language – phonological, semantic and grammatical development, as well as and pragmatics – occur soon after birth, the opportunity for optimal development of these language components are an essential part of early intervention – even in a child under age three (3), particularly where higher risk, such as siblings with dyslexia or identified co-morbidities are present

Age-appropriate phonological development and the successful achievement of language milestones during the pre-linguistic and linguistic periods is an effective strategy to ward off off the likelihood of dyslexia, especially given the neuroplasticity of the young brain. Early detection, intervention and prevention – by way of phonemic awareness - serves as prophylaxis that precludes a language problem early enough to stave off the effects of a language problems and may promote neural pathways and synapses, neural processes and new circuitry between key brain modules, measured by objective improvement in reading ability. Early intervention speech therapy focusing on may help forge improved circuitry among these critical brain locales.

Learn about the signs & symptoms as well as management from the perspective of speech language pathology, occupational therapy and special education. Packed with visuals and diagrams, solutions to difficult and trouble-some scenarios are well presented, with a positive tone, and excellent ‘functionality’ of material for the early intervention professional.
