The Almost but Not Quite Dyslexic Child.
Scheidler, Thomas D.
This booklet addresses the educational needs of students who, though not dyslexic, do have isolated reading difficulties and/or difficulties with written work, caused by a disturbance in Executive Function, a term borrowed from Dr. Martha Denckla meaning the ability to organize, manage time, perform independent tasks, etc. A question and answer format is used to provide information on problems in Executive Function. This information includes age at which such problems arise, the neurological basis of such problems, the relationship of problems with Executive Function and attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity, the specific processes comprising Executive Function, strategies for assisting students with such problems, the value of a specialized program (rather than mainstream instruction) for such children, common concerns regarding the child attending a special school for children with language problems, and the benefits of a specialized boarding school for such children.
