Complementary Therapies have to offer people with: Dyslexia; Dyscalculia, Dyscalculia; Dyspraxia; ADHD, or other Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD’s), whether a parent, teacher or other professional, this part of the website will offer accessible and helpful advice.
I have been working in the education field for over 20 years. In particular, my work at the Swindon Dyslexia Centre has included dealing with thousands of people who were desperately seeking the ‘cure’ for dyslexia.
For many years, dyslexia has been the subject of scrutiny by many different specialists. The result has been a wealth of information, but where do you start? This part of the site looks at Complementary Therapies concerning Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia, and other Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs).
I have looked at many different therapies that have claimed to help, alleviate or even ‘cure’ dyslexia and other learning difficulties (besides many other conditions).
Entire books have been dedicated to individual therapies. I only intend to give you a ‘flavour’ of each here. Some of these therapies are new, while others, like Ayurveda, have been around for over 5000 years.
Whilst I have tried to organize therapies into relevant sections, it is sometimes difficult to determine where one method ends and another begins, but the structure used aims to be as helpful and clear as possible.
One thing that is clear to me is that good old, tried-and-tested teaching methods should not be replaced and that complementary approaches should be treated as ‘complementary’.
This part of the website has only just been added and will be completed soon.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
If you are interested in what Complementary Therapies have to offer, you can find more information in my book: ‘Dyslexia and Alternative Therapies‘.
