Although dyslexia is called a learning disability, it does not mean that one is unable to learn. Instead, dyslexia is a learning difference that often requires multisensory instruction as well as cognitive remediation. Therefore, certain cognitive skills that may come easily for most students may require additional attention and training for many students that struggle with dyslexia. What Types of Cognitive Skills Need This Extra Attention? Each individual with dyslexia has their own unique profile, but here is a list of some of the common cognitive deficits that result in a diagnosis of dyslexia. Auditory processing: Auditory processing problems do not originate in the ear. Instead, it is an issue with how the brain processes auditory information. Visual processing: Visual processing problems also reside in the brain. There are no problems with vision; rather, they are difficulties with how the brain makes sense of visual stimuli. Language processing: Language processing is the way people process words to extract information, ideas, and meanings. Sequential processing: Sequential processing is the ability to process information in a series or in a sequence. Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN): Rapid automatic naming (RAN), or rapid naming, is the ability to quickly process and verbalize a series of familiar items, including letters, numbers, colors or objects. Experts agree that RAN tests can be used to predict reading abilities. Executive functioning/attention: Executive functioning is like a mental workspace that encodes, retrieves and manipulates information. What is Cognitive Remedial Therapy? Cognitive remedial therapy is an educational therapy approach that exercises weak areas of cognition to improve core neurocognitive abilities. Can Cognitive Remedial Therapy Erase Deficits? A focused intervention plan that targets a specific area of cognition, such as visual memory or auditory discrimination, can improve abilities over time. There is a three-step process: Assess abilities: This information can be gleaned from psycho-educational or neuropsychological reports. Define the underlying cognitive processing weaknesses: This can be determined by locating the lowest test scores. Implement focused exercises: Begin with exercises that match current abilities and gradually increase in difficulty. Who Offers This Type of Intervention? Educational therapists and learning specialists are usually the best professionals to help with this form of intervention. You can learn more about these professionals by reading my blog post: Tutor, Learning Specialist, and Educational Therapist: What's the Difference? Can I Do These Cognitive Exercises Myself?
