The purpose of this research is to explore the efficacy of Early Intensive Behavior Intervention (EIBI). More specifically, focusing on the question, are children exposed to EIBI more likely to achieve better outcomes?

According to The International Dyslexia Association, the impact that dyslexia has is different for each person and depends on the severity of the condition and the approaches of the remediation. The

When working in early intervention you tend to see tons of children, some typical and others not. How do we distinguish these students? Each child is different and the support required for them varies. There are a series of tests that can be administered for your child if you have concerns and anyone can recommend you for testing or an evaluation. The earlier the better.

Lampkin (2015) describes Dyslexia as a common condition that affects the way the brain processes written and spoken language. However, Handler and Fierson (2011), go a bit deeper and define it as a receptive language-based learning disability that is characterized by difficulties with decoding, fluent word recognition, rapid automatic naming, and/or reading-comprehension skills. In short, Dyslexia is a complex reading disability that many children and adults suffer from.

Causes of dyslexia or reading disabilities have been hotly debated by researchers and educators. Knowledge regarding the causes of reading disabilities is important as they define the strategies that will used to help students with dyslexia learn. Dyslexia is caused by differences in the information processing patterns of learning disability students. Language and phonological skills have been found to be the main cause of reading problems. This paper presents a critique and summarizes a paper dealing with phonological skills and how they affect the ability to read. Besides this the paper will highlight the main findings of

Dyslexia is a lifelong struggle with constant challenges with reading and speaking. About five to ten percent of the United States population deals with the learning disorder dyslexia (Van den Honert, n.d.). It is a neurological condition that is mainly caused by genetics but there are some rare cases in which it is acquired. Dyslexia interrupts the normal processes of reading and speaking (Van den Honert, n.d.). All of which are used in daily life and this makes life and school so much harder for dyslexics. They must learn to live with the condition for their entire life and there is not really a treatment for it. With the constant struggle and reminder of their

The best treatment for children with Down syndrome or other disabilities is early intervention. Early intervention concept considered a methodical therapy which supports exercises and communication skills of children with down syndrome. In addition, there are many different types of early intervention which contribute to the development of the child's abilities: physical therapy, speech, and language therapy, and occupational therapy. It should start any time after birth usually this therapy continues until the three years.The earlier early intervention is the best, however, any person who has a child with Down syndrome can start to treat him anytime.

Children with Dyslexia have trouble with reading and spelling. Some children do not seem to struggle with early reading and writing. They have trouble with complex language skills, such as grammar, reading comprehension and more in depth writing. Handwriting is a powerful treatment for a Dyslexic child. Dyslexic children may have low self esteem about themselves because people may think they’re better than them (Dr. Ryan 2). Children with this condition may have a lot of problems with learning things throughout their life. A Dyslexic child learn slower than regular children. Dyslexia in children can be treated with educational resources, specific therapies and medical interventions.

Developmental dyslexia (referred as dyslexia hereafter) is a specific learning disability characterized by impairments in acquiring accurate and fluent word reading despite normal intelligence and adequate schooling (Hulme & Snowling, 2009). As one of the most common learning disorders, dyslexia affects approximately 3-7% of the English-speaking population (Rutter et al., 2004), and impairments continue into adulthood. In order to design effective interventions for improving the quality of dyslexics’ life, it is important to determine cognitive factors that contribute to impaired reading ability.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability. The word dyslexia comes from the Greek meaning “difficulty with words”. Dyslexic children usually have trouble with spelling and writing, and sometimes with reading and numbers. It is characterized by problems in coping with written symbols, despite normal intelligence or motivation. This type of reading disorder makes student fails to recognize and understand written words. Dyslexic people may have problems putting things in sequence, following instructions, and confusing directions. Children born with dyslexia have difficulty with text, memory and basic mathematics. They are hard in sorting out the sounds within words, therefore they have troubles with reading, writing, and spelling. The cause of

Imagine being a parent who has to stand back and watch your child suffer from a disorder that will not only affect your child’s education, but also their social wellbeing as a youth, and potential future successes as an adult? What if you knew there was a solution, a medication, or a treatment, but it was just beyond your grasp? One can only imagine a situation like this would be incredibly frustrating.

There are two learning disabilities that are one in the same, they are dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Although these refer to two different disabilities, the effects they have on individuals and the effects they have on learning themselves are very close in comparison. Dyslexia is also known as a reading disorder, the symptoms of dyslexia are measured by reading achievement, i.e., reading accuracy, speed or comprehension as measured by standardized tests, that falls substantially below that expected, given the individual’s chronological age, measured intelligence, and age appropriate education, dyslexia symptoms can show up for a variety of reasons. Dyslexia effects about 10-15% of the population, and as of today there is no known cure for this

It seems to me that the logical response to educating any child is early intervention. There are many subjects within our reading that were astonishing to me however the most surprising was that kindergarten is not actually mandatory in most states, Vermont included. Early education is important in providing a successful future for our children therefore, this is notable. I understand that people have different theories about how early education should be applied and the freedom for parents to decide how to do so is important nevertheless, parents also need to be educated on their options plus successfulness of those option and theories. Theories being another topic that can be overwhelming.

There can be many negative difficulties associated with dyslexia that children have to overcome besides reading. Children with these difficulties tend to avoid reading as much as possible because it is so hard for them which causes them to fall further behind. When children see that they can’t read as well in school as their friends it affects them emotionally and can cause a lot of hard feelings. Sometimes they work real hard to try and keep up and not let anyone know they are struggling because other kids can be mean. It effects their confidence and their self image. The dyslexic’s self-image appears to be extremely vulnerable to frustration and anxiety. Dyslexics become scared to try things because of their constant frustration and worry that they will get confused in school which can cause anger. All children need to get past the struggles between a positive self-image and
