Binocular Saccadic Dysfunction - a Precursor to Dyslexia? (ePub)

This book talks about a laborious and frustrating journey investigating reading difficulties as a whole; scrutizing academic theories and practices; and, attempting to discern where these theories and practices appeared to be applicable in the "e;real world"e;. We will also be looking for information where major disparities become glaring and prevalent within populations designated, typically, by school districts and associated service providers as "e;slow learners"e;. Recognition of reading difficulties and associated causation has been attributed to, and by, education entities and their professional representatives statements range from the good, bad, and ugly e.g. "e;Let's find out why you're having problems"e;; "e;Reading isn't for wimps"e;; and, "e;The little bastards just need to read more"e;. Indeed, to state that reading is a simple process, would be a classic untruth. Rather it is based on a designated and accepted hierarchy of developmental increments that can be represented by a typical pyramid configuration. Disruption and diminished mastery of any element depicted would, therefore, lead to diminished results. The "e;layers of the onion"e; are peeled back to a very basic level e.g. the intake of visual information and theoretical transfer of this information to the brain for interpretation.
