Therapy options for dyslexia
The therapy should always be individually tailored to the deficits of the child and, if possible, should take a holistic approach. Holistic means that therapist, parents and school work together to achieve the best possible results through cooperation. A holistic approach should also be applied to the child and thus address the social and emotional area as well as the psychomotor and cognitive areas.
The pedagogical work should be based on the learning level, the learning conditions and the working possibilities of each child. Games developed for dyslexia patients are generally very motivating, because such children are often already discouraged, as they often achieve only poor results at school despite much practice and learning. For this reason, it is important that the games for such patients are designed in such a way that small successes are achieved again and again.
The child thus regains confidence in its own abilities. This leads to the fact that the children play with joy and thus also learn with joy. Card games are a good way to do this, which also trigger a tactile stimulus in the child.
As an example, a memory or a canasta can be mentioned, in which the picture page is also described with words. The child has to read the word on the card before placing it on the table, so that the children automatically have an unobtrusive reading training in addition to the fun of playing. For the computer there are numerous games that help with dyslexia and which the child can play on his own.
With such computer programs, the level of difficulty can be individually adjusted to the child’s level. For example, there are search or error images to train visual differentiation. The ability to differentiate is very important in dyslexia.
Another game for dyslexia is painting letters on the child’s back, with the child alternating between being the painter and the guesser. In this game, the letters are memorized particularly well in the child’s memory through several senses.
