Today’s session
1. Memo 1 debrief2. Intervention presentation: Phonological
and word level interventions3. Break4. But phonology is not my student’s only
hurdle…
Memo 1 Debrief
• Don’t over-inflate authors!• APA pointers• Reducing bias
• Bursuck and Damer: were they getting commission from DIBELS?!!
• Individuals with dyslexia often appear to struggle with more than phonology…
- vision - balance/motor control - automaticity

- vision - balance/motor control - automaticity
Vision
• “The letters go all blurry”• “The letters move over each other, so I can’t tell
which is which”• “The letters seem to float all over the page”• “The letters move in and out of the page”• “The letters split and go double”• “The c moved over the r, so it looked like another
c”• “The p joined up with the c”• “d’s and b’s sort of get the wrong way round”• “The page goes all glary and hurts my eyes”• “I keep on losing my place”
Vision is not one process…
• Visual orthographic skills – Badian• Visual stress - Wilkins
Warning: stressful pattern coming up!!
Text can be stressful too…

Vision is not one process…
• Visual orthographic skills – Badian• Visual stress – Wilkins• Visual spatial attention deficits – Hari• Binocular vergence control and unstable
fixations – poor motion processing
Magnocelluar theory
Motion processing
http://vision.rutgers.edu/klab/research/formAndMotion.htm
How does this relate to reading?
Magnocells?
10% of retinal ganglion cells are magnocellular (large); they respond
rapidly to time visual events accurately – they detect visual motion, direct attention, control eye movements and enable steady
eye fixation
80% are parvocells (small) : for colour, fine detail, slower responses.
BUT!!!!!
• Dorsal stream appears more developmentally vulnerable than ventral stream
• Dorsal stream deficits in Williams Syndrome children (and autistics), but Williams syndrome can develop age-appropriate decoding skills
• Dorsal stream myelination continues until at least 8-10 years, so the environment could be affecting this binocular fixation too e.g. print size in books children’s books
Magnocellular conclusion
• Give us more evidence!
• Visual stress currently has more published research and more remediation implications
• Individuals with dyslexia often appear to struggle with more than phonology…
- vision - balance/motor control - automaticity
Cerebellar theory of dyslexia
• The behavioral symptoms of dyslexia can be characterized as difficulties in skill automatisation (the process by which, after long practice, skills become so fluent they no longer need conscious control)
• Cerebellum is mildly dysfunctional• Poor performance on large number of motor tasks• Evidence of right hemisphere cerebellar
underactivation in an imaging study
Nicolson and Fawcett, 1990
BUT!!!!
• Difficulties replicating findings and issues of co-morbidity in their samples (e.g. ADHD, Wimmer et al., 1999)
• Dyslexics do not look like people with acquired cerebellar damage (hypotonia, rate/force/regularity of voluntary movement, fatigability, speeded reaching
• Cerebellar signs reflect remote effect of cortical damage on cerebellar function?
Implications for DORE
• How DORE is working is not clear• Placebo effects have yet to be ruled out• It is not likely to work for everyone
So where does this leave us?
• We still know that a phonological deficit is the core basis for dyslexia
• We know that there must be a biological reason for this
• We know that researchers have not found a convincing causal pathway yet so…
• If someone tries to convince us otherwise, we need to be wary
