[MOSAIC] dyslexia
I have a student who probably has dyslexia. According to our school psych, my state does not recognize dyslexia as a learning disability, so this student will not get any help from special ed. She really needs help with reading. I remember years ago hearing that see-through plastic sheets in different colors can help students with dyslexia read. Do you know anything about this? If this is really true, where can I buy some of those plastic sheets for her to try out? Thanks!

Re: [MOSAIC] dyslexia
I'm curious which state? We have special provisions for testing for dyslexia in Texas. Also, it can definitely be a case of 504 which is a mandated federal law about students with disabilities that are not labeled special ed. The 504 law covers all states. - Original Message - From: wr...@att.net To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies EmailGroup mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 3:30 PM Subject: [MOSAIC] dyslexia I have a student who probably has dyslexia.

Re: [MOSAIC] dyslexia
I have purchased cover overlays myself, but have read research recently that has claimed they are not effective. Can't say I've seen any remarkable results myself.

Re: [MOSAIC] dyslexia
Dyslexia is a loose term that it seems not many agree on a definition for. I have found some of the information from Sally Shaywitz very helpful as I have learned more about struggling readers. Her book, Overcoming Dyslexia, is awesome. She is, I think, a pediatric neurologist.

Re: [MOSAIC] dyslexia
The colored sheets are available from Irlen Institute and they are used to correct visual difficulties called scotopic sensitivity. This hasn't (I believe) been proven to correct the letters moving on the page. The most common colored overlay is blue, but they also come in various other shades, like yellows, roses, greens, etc. You could probably find report covers that would work as well and be much cheaper. It's basically a trial-and-error method to determine the correct color.
