Functional Neurology for Dyslexia: Rewiring the Brain for Reading and Language Success
Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, spelling, and decoding—despite adequate intelligence and educational opportunities. At our clinic, we leverage advanced functional neurology evaluations and targeted neurorehabilitation to identify and address the underlying brain network dysfunctions responsible for dyslexia, helping patients achieve improved reading and language skills.
At Diagnostic Health & Injury, we specialize in enhancing neural pathways involved in phonological processing, visual perception, and cognitive integration.
Understanding Dyslexia: More Than a Reading Problem
Dyslexia arises from differences in the brain regions responsible for the following:
- Phonological processing and auditory discrimination
- Visual processing and rapid symbol recognition
- Working memory and processing speed
- Language comprehension and fluency
- Multisensory integration and executive function
These challenges reflect disrupted connectivity between the left hemisphere language centers and supporting neural networks.
Our Comprehensive Functional Neurology Assessment
We utilize sophisticated tools to map brain function and sensory integration:
- Quantitative EEG (qEEG)
Detects abnormal brainwave patterns and connectivity disruptions linked to language processing difficulties. - Eye Movement and Oculomotor Testing
Evaluates saccades, fixation, and smooth pursuit critical for reading fluency and visual tracking. - Auditory Processing Evaluation
Assesses temporal processing and auditory discrimination essential for phonological awareness. - Sensory-Motor Integration Testing
Measures vestibular and proprioceptive function that influence attention, coordination, and cognitive performance. - Cognitive and Language Function Testing
Objective measures of working memory, processing speed, and language comprehension guide targeted therapy.
Functional Neurology Treatment: Enhancing Brain Networks for Literacy
Our customized rehabilitation protocols target the neural mechanisms underlying dyslexia through the following:
- Neurofeedback and Brainwave Regulation
Normalizes atypical brainwave patterns to improve focus, processing speed, and language processing. - Oculomotor and Visual Training
Exercises improve eye tracking, visual attention, and saccadic control to enhance reading fluency. - Auditory Processing Therapy
Phonological training and sound discrimination exercises strengthen auditory pathways. - Sensory Integration and Multisensory Learning
Combines vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile stimulation to boost cognitive processing and language skills. - Cognitive Rehabilitation
Targets working memory, executive function, and processing speed to support overall learning ability.
