A sample of 247 Educationally Handicapped (EH) children at ages 6-10 was investigated to determine the role of static balance impairment in learning disabilities and the possibility of improving reading through balance training. Significant correlations between balance ability and reading level were found in only about 40% of the sample,…

Peer reviewedMcAllister, J.; And Others – Junior College Journal, 1972
The effectiveness of a compensatory education program is dependent upon the recognition and treatment of students' basic visual, auditory, or neurological development problems. (MN)

Lefton, Lester A. – 1977
This report summarizes four groups of experiments examining the nature of basic perceptual processes in reading. The first group examined the relationship of English orthography to reading, specifically the transfer of information from the icon to short-term memory. The second group of experiments examined the use of peripheral information…

Consilia, Sister Mary – 1970
The structure and function of the nervous system as it puts us into contact with our environment is described. Section 1 presents a detailed discussion of the structure of the brain, drawing an analogy to a computer, and discusses the sensory input function. The transport system is then explained in a description of the transmission of sensory…

Thorson, Esther L. – 1975
Six separate experiments were undertaken to test the hypothesis that poor readers in first, second, and third grade would have more difficulty with simple perceptual discriminations than would good readers in the same grades. Various tasks were used in the experiments, including discrimination of line orientations, checking letters in three-letter…

Braithwaite, R. J. – Slow Learning Child, 1972
Research is reviewed to determine the value of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception as a predictor of reading performance and whether the Frostig Visual Perception Training Program improves reading performance. (KW)

Harris, Albert J. – 1968
Four new approaches to remedial reading directed toward the stimulation of defective perceptual areas by procedures other than teaching reading skills are reviewed. The Delacato approach emphasizes the development of neurological organization and laterality. It may be useful for a small percentage of children with severe reading disabilities, but…
