Learning Solution for Children with Dyslexia Autism ADD and ADHD Moving...

Elementary school children who experience difficulty reading can permanently improve their skills with Moving To Read (MTR) therapy. The specially designed MTR computer software improves children's8217;s reading and learning skills by one to three grade levels. The program has been used successfully by over 900 students in seven different public elementary schools. A range of learning deficiencies from mild reading difficulties to Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD and ADHD) and Autism are addressed by the therapy.



MTR therapy permanently improves children's8217;s learning abilities and reading effectiveness, including fluency, comprehension, spelling, and pronunciation. It encourages children's8217;s desire to read and helps them build self-esteem and confidence. With only 15 weeks of treatment, involving 30 minutes twice a week, MTR therapy permanently improves children's8217;s ability to concentrate, pay attention in class and follow instructions. As a side benefit, children's8217;s behavior also significantly improves with the therapy.



's8220;Before the MTR therapy, Darcey's8217;s frustration with reading and all of her school work was overwhelming. What I's8217;ve noticed most about her improvement, is the ease with which she is able to read worlds on the page, and as a result is developing a better understanding of what she is reading,'s8221; notes Darcey's8217;s mother, Sheila McCarthy. 's8220;Darcey has also noticed that learning math is much easier. It seems like her memory is better. Her teacher has noticed that she has no problem with memorizing and understanding, whereas last year this was a big problem.'s8221;



Neurobiological studies have identified visual, spatial and temporal sequencing problems that cause many learning and reading disabilities. MTR therapy is a clinically proven treatment that addresses neural timing deficits and effectively re-programs neurological connection patterns and frequencies that hinder children's8217;s learning.



's8220;MTR therapy provides a comprehensive, rapid, and effective strategy for remediating reading problems,'s8221; reports Dr. Teri Lawton, CEO and Research Director of Perception Dynamics Institute (PDI) and developer of the program. 's8220;MTR therapy is designed to enhance the 's8216;where's8217; motion pathway in the brain 's8212; the circuit of neurons that helps readers determine the location of letters in a word and words on a page.'s8221; While traditional vision therapy typically improves eye movements, eye coordination, depth of focus, and tracking ability, MTR therapy strengthens an entirely different visual pathway -- the brain's8217;s motion or dorsal pathway. By retraining motion pathway neurons to function optimally, MTR therapy causes a physiological change in neural timing that enables permanent improvements in the visual channels.



An extended clinical validation study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and PDI, found that children in grades 2-4 improved their reading fluency two to four fold. The results of this study are about to appear in the journal Optometry and Vision Development.
