A popular program to treat adult dyslexia is the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program (LIPS). This program uses phoneme awareness as its main method to learn how to read correctly. This program has also grown more popular over recent years.
This program believes that the primary cause of problems related to decoding and spelling is the individuals inability to judge the identity or sound sequence that is found within words. This inability is normally termed to be weak phoneme awareness.
A dyslexic person is generally thought to have a weakness in his or her phonological processing. This weakness is said to be the cause of why children and adults who suffer from this illness tend to substitute or omit words they read and they may even reverse the sounds and the letters within the words that they have been reading.
People who suffer with dyslexia cannot accurately get the words from the page they are reading, this is because even though they can see the letters and words in there correct form, they are unable to tell whether what they see would match with what they are about to say. Because of this they are unable to correct and detect their errors in spelling, reading and their speech. Also this is the main cause of difficulty when a some one tries to learn a second language.
The main aim of this program is to successfully develop a person with dyslexia phoneme awareness. Here you are able to apply the so-called awareness to your reading, spelling, writing, and speech both remedially and preventively.
If you decide to train in this kind of program, you will be helped to find out the different mouth actions that can produce real speech sounds. By the use of this kind of sensory information, you will learn to verify sounds and know their order within words. Once have been taught this kind of skill, you are then able to correct yourself when reading, writing, spelling, and even speaking.
Normally, people who take this program will gain several grade levels on their decoding ability. This is generally gained within four to six weeks of having intensive training and treatment. If you decide to undergo an intensive program, then you will required to undergo therapy for at least four hours in a day.
However, you still have the choice on how intense you want your program to be. If you want it to be not so intense, then they can adjust it to suit you.
Recent findings have also shown that additional gains in speech and language skills have also occurred by the use of this sensory cognitive method. This was observed even after individuals have already reached a certain level through the traditional approach to speech therapy.
You can undergo this kind of program by going to a Lindamood Bell Learning Processes Center. You can find one in over fifteen states in the United States and they are also available in the United Kingdom. You can have access to materials that are included in the program such as a manual with a detailed presentation of the steps that you have to take in the program. Some outlines and sample dialogues are also be included.
You would also need to have some of their support products. Some of these are their classroom kit, program clinical kit, training videos, a practice CD, and a testing kit. These products are included when you apply for their program.
The program also caters to other conditions related to dyslexia, such as hyperlexia. This is a condition where you may have specific problems in comprehending what you just have read, even though you may be able to read it accurately.
As always it is recommended to use the internet to do any research and find your local Lindamood Bell Learning Processes Center. This is also an ideal way to make contact with them.

My Grandson
By: Michael | 25-06-2008
My nine year old grandson has been diagnosed with dyslexia and his parents are now faced with the decision as to how to find the best situation for him. They live in New York City and the costs for private schools that try to address the dyslexia issue range from $20,000 per year to $40,000 per year. The interesting thing about my grandson's neurological diagnosis is that while his rote memory skills are minimal at best his other skills rank as high as the 99.9 percentile for I. Q.

I assume that there are two types of organisations ...
By: drabsv | 18-06-2008
I assume that there are two types of organisations according to the relation structure-people:(1) organisations which expect employees to adapt to their rules, roles and conditions of work. If there are not enough candidates, these organisations react by either increasing salaries or by coercing people to work there through various mechansims - manipulating unemployment rate (e.g. outsourcing work to overpopulated Asia, letting immigrants in); mandatory labour service/ military service; etc. In brief: "the individual must fit into the system". An example of a policy of such organisation: "working time is set Monday till Friday, from 8 am till 5 p.m".(2) organisations which create their rules, roles and work habitats with the human in mind, from the very outset; they also maintain feedback loops to change (improve) those rules, roles and conditions for work when necessary. In brief: "the individual must fit to the system and system must fit to the individual".An example of a policy of such organisation: "the working day is 8 hours; standard working time is set Monday till Friday, from 8 am till 5 p.m but you can arrange with our managers a different schedule, convenient to you". If my assumption is correct, any examples of type (2) organisations?

ADHD or Autistic?
By: Chrissie | 02-06-2008
My son is 10 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was 4. He's been in Special Ed. since he's 3. I've always seen some autism behaviors in him, but his teachers have said he doesn't have autism. He has no attention span, hates loud noises and bright lights, doesn't always look you in the eye when he talks, likes to line things up. However, he has no problems socially. He makes friends very easily. How do I know if he is autistic? Is it possible to be a "little" autistic? I always thought you were born with autism. Can you develop it later on, say at 10 years old? Thank you.
