50% of Dyslexics Have this Infant Reflex

50% of Dyslexics Have this Infant Reflex

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : February 23, 2021No Comment

You know what drives me bananas about how we address reading struggles? We have kids read more to try and fix it. We think that the problem and cause of reading struggles are related to reading itself. I am here to tell you – they are not. Reading struggles don’t even start with things like…

How Balance is Connected to Reading Fluency

Did you know that when astronauts spend time in space, they can develop ‘space dyslexia’ upon returning to Earth? Until their body adjusts to gravity and they re-train their vestibular and proprioceptive system, reading can suddenly become the same laborious or even impossible task that it is for so many kids with reading disorders. When…

Is Poor Balance Affecting Your Child’s Learning Ability?

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : January 4, 2021No Comment

Claire used to struggle with helping her son, Kolby. She felt so hopeless and stuck and was always so worried about how much further Kolby would fall behind in school. It felt like every year Kolby was struggling more. Sure he would make gains in some ways, but Kolby couldn’t sit still to save his…

Why Your Child Shuts Down – The Lazy Myth

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : November 2, 2020No Comment

A couple weeks ago I was talking to a mom who was considering that maybe her son did have some kind of learning or behaviour challenge. “But I don’t know,” she said “Maybe I’m just making excuses. I am beginning to think that maybe he is just plain lazy and defiant.” Kids with APD are…

Why Dyslexia, ADHD & Dyspraxia So Often Occur Together

Why Dyslexia, ADHD & Dyspraxia So Often Occur Together

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : February 12, 2020February 12, 2020No Comment

If I had a dollar for every child I work with who has more than one diagnoses, I would be rich. Rarely do I see a child who just has dyslexia with no other diagnoses or difficulties. Parents almost always come to see me because of one major concern. Usually that concern is either reading…

Why Tutoring & Reading Programs Fail

Why Tutoring & Reading Programs Fail

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : February 4, 2020No Comment

It’s easy to feel helpless and that nothing is working when you have paid the money and taken the time out to drive your child to tutoring, believing this will be ‘the fix’ and you see minimal results. Last summer, Lisa told me that her son Isaac must have been misdiagnosed. She explained that she…

The Role of Genetics in Dyslexia

The Role of Genetics in Dyslexia

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : December 9, 2019December 9, 2019No Comment

‘Dyslexia is genetic’ I can’t tell you how many times a week I hear that or read it. This prevalent declaration makes me a little bit crazy. … and it’s not because it’s incorrect. Dyslexia can definitely have a genetic component. But a ‘dyslexia gene’ is a deeply flawed understanding of genetics. … As well…

I wish I could tell you that it’s as simple as adding these three supplements and you have it covered- but it’s not. On the flip side – addressing dyslexia with nutrition is not the rocket science some people have made it out to be. It’s about nourishment. Every now and then a parent contacts…

Top 4 Nutrients That Can Impact Dyslexia & Reading Disorders

By now almost all of us have heard about how food colouring, especially red dye, can be a nightmare for a child with ADHD. When a child gets the ADHD diagnosis, Moms often know that there are other solutions like nutrition, exercise and adequate sleep before trying medication. Yet when dyslexia is the diagnosis, somehow…

Dysgraphia – More Than Bad Hand Writing

Dysgraphia – More Than Bad Hand Writing

By : info@lorrainedriscoll.com Posted On : November 4, 2019November 13, 2019No Comment

Dysgraphia is more than just bad hand writing. In my last article Smart Kids Who Hate to Write I described the main areas of breakdown with dysgraphia and what it looks like. Many people, including professionals think that the main issue with dysgraphia is poor fine motor control. Language-Based Dysgraphia Dysgraphia is more layered than…
