Children with dyslexia often have motion-processing disorders and may have an overlapping diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder. It is important to understand how the brain and body work together to support reading skill development in order to make sure that you are engaging a child with dyslexia in activities that are going to support development of visual skills and phonological awareness. This involves not just direct reading instruction but a sensorimotor approach to increase connections in the brain that increase the brain’s ability to draw on sensory information for reading skill development.
