Overview
Overview
Functional MRI (fMRI) studies have shown changes in the brains of dyslexic children and adults with phonics tutoring, along with improved performance on tests of phonemic awareness and text decoding.[1] [2] Functional MRI studies have also shown changes in the brain and spelling improvement of dyslexic children taughtspelling phonetically in an orthographic manner. [3]
One factor that characterises the field of dyslexia treatment is the incessant flow of alternative therapeutic approaches. These controversial treatments include sensory, dietary, and movement-based approaches as well as many others. [4]
