Dyslexia shares many symptoms with other learning or behavioral problems, particularly attention deficits, auditory processing problems, and motor coordination issues. There are many therapeutic programs geared primarily to these related issues, rather than dyslexia, that may also prove helpful to your child. You may want to explore using these approaches either in conjunction with other tutoring or therapy for your child, or as a foundation to enable your child to gain necessary skills before receiving instruction more targeted to academic skill areas. The therapies summarized in this chapter are all geared to addressing issues such as attention focus or motor coordination that play a part in your child's ability to learn.
