Thanks for your response, Olga. Where can I find more information about the
Reading Plus program? It sounds like it might be useful for my son to try it
over summer vacation.

And I think my son's auditory processing is poor because he starts focusing on
something that he's just heard and might need to think about more, then when the
discussion moves on, he's no longer paying attention. Would Sensory Solutions
help that?

Thanks again,
Jane

sounds like he has some auditory processing problems. Remember the vestibular
system is what coordinates all other sensory avenues including the movements of
the eye. If he is having trouble processings sound (he could still have good
hearing but not good perception of all sounds) this could be a real problem not
just to listening but to reading. The auditory program My Sensory Solutions is
really good in this area. That's why lots of people are taking that as the next
step. The Reading plus program will help also with the motor funcitons of the
eye and with reading speed but if the vestibular is still not up to speed it
will not do. The reading program is pretty inexpensive and can be done with the
listening program. Olga

about 1 1/2 years ago, during his freshman year in college. When he first
finished, he thought it helped, but this year has been extremely difficult for
him--both getting his work done on time, and particularly reading. His work is
very good, but he's almost always behind, he continues to procrastinate, he
often has trouble following what's going on in class discussions, and he can
never finish his reading.

it's really agony for him. He's very slow and he has a hard time skimming for
information. I notice that he doesn't even read easy things like emails (mine,
of course!)or short articles. Writing is also very difficult. He's actually an
excellent writer, but it takes him a very long time to put his thoughts together
(once he gets himself to start, that is).

about college students, who have different needs and who then need to apply
their college skills to the working world? My son is really hard on himself,
which makes it doubly stressful on him. A good reading program might help, but
I'm not sure the improvements that seemed to have happened with Dore have been
retained. In fact, they seem to have fled.

Feel free to phone me to discuss further. I am pretty sure your unit only has
the 5 protocols but how you check is if your unit has 2 different optimal
proformance protools. I believe it say optimal proformance I and optimal
profromance II.

top of the paramid meaning when you are done with Dore and listening then you
would want to try it. I can't wait to start my son on it and see how he does. It
was really amazing to see how bad I did on the testing. Since Dore and listening
I can read better but I still hate it. In this testing it tracks how you read
and where your eyes go if you skip around, if you read and re-read a line and
how long you fixate on each word.
