What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia, in other words, identified as a reading disorder is a popular and well-known learning difficulty that has to do with the inability to read, write, and spell.
This problem affects the ability that is specifically for learning. Hence anyone suffering from dyslexia finds it has to pronounce words, read texts, write, or do anything that is correlated to learning and inculcating knowledge from a teacher to a student. Although the IQ is rarely affected in dyslexia just like a learning disability. This has to do with issues and difficulty in identifying sounds and pronouncing them. Furthermore, the area of the brain that aids in the procession of language and words are highly affected by dyslexia.
Individuals living with dyslexia often have joust the usual IQ and normal sight. School children who have dyslexia can easily improve and succeed in their academics if they are given special tutorage and academic programs. Emotional support can also go a long way in preparing and putting them through all they need to know.
An estimation of about 2 out of every 2o in the United Kingdom suffers dyslexia while 5 out of it tend to suffer from dyslexia.
Dyslexia isn’t just a health condition that can be treated and cured overnight. It is life-long and poses a lot of challenges to anyone who is suffering it. These challenges go on, on daily basis.
However, there is yet to be a permanent cure for dyslexia. But an early diagnosis, intervention, and management can help with a positive outcome.
Though dyslexia can linger for as long as from childhood to adulthood, yet, there isn’t a late time for an intervention.
But the good news is that help is available. With this support, the reading, writing, and learning skills of the patients would be highly improved. Hence, their caregivers would not have to worry about their ragged progress in their academics and work.
Symptoms of Dyslexia
The identification of the signs and symptoms of Dyslexia can be a herculean task, especially before a child is enrolled in an academic institution. The child just like every other child would still exhibit the traits and characteristics of every normal child. So, the signs are impossible to be identified.
Going further, there are three stages when the symptoms of dyslexia can be identified in an individual. They are;
- Early childhood–before school.
- While in school –educational stage.
- After school.
Early childhood –before school
At the early stage of childhood, there are apparent signs which show that a child may be suffering from dyslexia or might be at the risk of suffering it. These signs include;
- Difficulty in learning new words.
- Having difficulty in accurately putting words together.
- Confusion at words that sounds alike.
- Difficulty in recalling words, letters, names, and colors, to mention but a few.
- Having problems with learning rhymes.
- Difficulty in repeating sounds, letters, numbers, and names pronounced by the teacher.
- Talking late.
Educational stage
At this stage, the signs and symptoms of dyslexia become obvious and easily be noticed by people around the child. These signs include;
- Not reading as supposed given to the level and age of education.
- Difficulty in understanding what was taught.
- Problems in processing what was taught or heard by the child.
- A problem with spelling words.
- Difficulty in remembering what was said in a short time.
- Taking a longer time to complete an easy task.
- Spending an unusually long time trying to pronounce words or sounds.
- Easily forgetting what was taught.
- Trying to dodge an activity that has to do with reading.
- Difficulty in pronouncing words that are not familiar.
- Difficulty in remembering things and how they were placed sequentially.
- Difficulty in distinguishing the dissimilarities between objects or things that looks like.
- Difficulty forming the right answers to questions.
After school
This stage is mostly for teenagers and adults. The signs and symptoms of that of teenagers and adults are alike just like those of early childhood. Most of the signs and symptoms are as follows;
- Inability to read and write.
- Find it difficult to read and write.
- Dodging tasks and activities that have to do with reading and writing.
- Not accurately pronouncing words and sounds.
- Inability to distinguish words that look alike.
- Phobia of reading and writing.
- Spending longer time to complete a task that has to do with reading and writing.
- Not easily understanding puns or jokes that have deep meanings or that require critical thinking.
- Difficulty in pronouncing new words.
- Difficulty in pronouncing long words.
- Finding it a herculean task to conclude or summarize a text.
- Difficulty learning, adapting and pronouncing a foreign language.
- Finding it a herculean task to solve arithmetic.
Complications of Dyslexia
Dyslexia tends to cause several problems and complications that may have a great effect on the person suffering from it. This also includes social and academic problems.
These problems include the following;
- Difficulty in learning –reading and writing are skills that must be acquired through learning, and vice versa. Thus, anyone who cannot read and write would not be able to learn, and vice versa. A child who has dyslexia would not be able to learn. And even when he does it’d be at a slow pace, hence the child won’t be able to keep up with his classmates and peers.
- Social difficulty –a dyslexic person tends to have low self-esteem, behavioral problems, tension, and most times are aggressive. They also tend to become alienated from the things they usually loved to do, peers, parents, and friends.
- Difficulty in adulthood –a dyslexic individual would find it a great task and problem at reaching their potential and fulfilling their dreams. An individual who can’t read nor write would find it a great deal to do anything for himself. This tends to have a long-term effect both on education, and social and economic indulgence.
Furthermore, dyslexic people are at a high risk of developing an attention deficit disorder –ADHD. ADHD makes it difficult to sustain the attention of a person lest they mostly lose focus on things that require optimum and rapt attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback?
Here at Brain Training Australia™, we use a specific type of NeurOptinmal® Neurofeedback which is an advanced form of Brain Training Technology. It is a safe, natural, non-invasive, drug-free, effective method grounded in decades of evidence-based clinical research that allows the brain to restore healthy mental processes and achieve life changing results. Neurofeedback measures and analyses the electricity generated by the Central Nervous System and then uses this analyses to provide specific interactive brain training exercises. Neurofeedback uses real-time displays of brain activity through the use of electroencephalography (EEG), to teach self-regulation of brain function. It provides information to your brain which allows it to reorganize itself. When your brain does this, you usually feel better in your life with easier access to more optimal functioning physically and emotionally. Neurofeedback Brain Training is quite a specialised field of neuroscience, so we have compiled this helpful FAQ section on our website to inform you and help you with any questions you may have.

How does Neurofeedback work?
Neurofeedback works through auditory perception interruptions, so once your dedicated Neurofeedback Practitioner has you hooked up to the EEG system, you will be asked to listen to some nice relaxation music (for auditory perception interruption purposes). As you listen to the music, you will hear little interruptions or glitches (similar to static) and this is the brain generated feedback at work. The interruptions are not pre-set in the music, instead they are live feedback from your own brainwaves which are obtained via the EEG system, to which you are hooked up to. Every time you hear an interruption in the music, you’ll know your brain has just adjusted itself so the music keeps playing. Over a few sessions, this static will become less pronounced – this is normal and the feedback loop will still be happening, even if you can’t hear it. Most people find the sessions enjoyable - you can just relax and enjoy them. There is absolutely nothing you have to do. Focusing on problem issues too intently during the session can be counterproductive – the more you can relax and let go, the easier it is for your brain to make the adjustments it needs. You can lie back or not, and have your eyes open or closed. Some may feel sensations in their body or head, like tingling or warmth, or they may feel nothing. These sensations are not an indication of progress and it is not important whether you are aware of sensations or not, as it is not related to the effectiveness of the session.
-
Do you diagnose or medicate?
No. At Brain Training Australia™ Clinic we do not diagnose. Or medicate. We train. Neurofeedback Brain Training is used a tool for brain training and optimization, not as a means of diagnosis, treatment or as medical intervention. Your brain is in complete charge of any and all adjustments it chooses to make in each session. The system which we use at Brain Training Australia™ Clinic does not do anything to your brain. It does not stimulate it in any way, and there is no electrical current going into your brain. It simply brings to the brain’s attention what it is already doing – acting like a mirror, reflecting information back to the brain and central nervous system. This allows the brain to recognize patterns of stress and make adjustments to release that pattern/stress.
-
What is Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to reorganise itself and to create new neural networks, in other words, create different ways of thinking. The average human brain has 100 million neurons and each neuron has as many as 7000 synaptic connections to other neurons. While the method employed at Brain Training Australia is Neurofeedback, the process by which the changes occur is through Neuroplasticity. What is happening when we put the EEG Sensors on the scalp, is that the system is measuring the summation of cortical, or electrical activity in the brain. The auditory interruptions or feedback provided is picking up on an existing stress response, inefficiency or instability in the brain. These changes are made through the processes of neuroplasticity. We don't want to tell the brain what to do or to stimulate it in any way, and there is no preconceived notion of how your brain should be performing. Instead we want the brain to form its own pathways and it does so naturally, gently and safely through neuroplasticity.
-
How many sessions will I need?
One of the features of Neurofeedback is that it is very safe because the person is able to change at their own rate without any forcing of the process. In addition, everyone is starting from a different place with a different history and they are coming for different reasons. Some achieve their desired outcome in ten sessions. Most require between ten and twenty sessions, with some requiring more. Remember, you do not need to do ten or twenty sessions to experience benefits as this will be evident within the first few sessions. Neurofeedback is not a quick fix; it is a program that allows your brain and central nervous system to release old habits and re-train itself in a healthier form which takes time and commitment on your part in the form of regular sessions. The total number of sessions required differs from person to person and we will monitor your specific needs. Your dedicated Neurofeedback Practitioner will be able to recommend your Brain Training Program specific to you, depending on your presentation at Session 1.
-
How often do I need to Train?
Neurofeedback is Brain Training and, like any training, it is repetition that gets the skills in place and then establishes resiliency and long lasting outcomes. Thus it becomes important to carry the improvements across from one session to the next. Most people achieve this with one session per week at the beginning, with a decrease in frequency towards the end of training. If you wish for a faster and easier outcome then two sessions per week are optimal. However, it is important to say that we have had many clients who have achieved very good outcomes with fortnightly sessions or less. This includes fly in fly out mining workers who are training a few days in a row once every three weeks or less. In addition, we have clients who are on the move and will do daily or twice daily sessions for a week or so with the benefits flowing on over time post Neurofeedback training. In short, any frequency of training is better than none and we can work out an individual program to suit your lifestyle and budget.

How should I expect to feel between sessions?
Many clients feel the positive effects of Neurofeedback from their very first session, as the changes can be felt between sessions and before the full change has ‘settled in.’ Very often the change people experience with Neurofeedback is remarkably effortless and seamless. The challenge with this is to notice the changes that are happening. The process is so simple and easy that as changes occur, you may even be tempted to attribute these improvements to something else you are doing. When clients have been used to an effort/reward system of growth and healing, they often find it hard to accept that it really can be this easy. As clients transition to optimal brain functionality, it is often that they don’t remember accurately what it was like when they came in at the Initial Consultation. This is why after every session we track your progress, and every 10 sessions we measure your overall progress since your first session. This process of seamless change is why it is important to monitor any changes, no matter how subtle, in the areas in which you hope to see improvement occurring. But not all change is seamless, and some people may have feelings that are less comfortable, such as feeling more open, vulnerable, raw, reactive or tearful. Sometimes it is not that they feel more of these emotions, but instead are becoming more aware of their feelings. As you progress through your Brain Training Program, you may still be experiencing the same symptoms, but are they less frequent and of a lesser intensity. You may find you can cope better with the symptoms now, that your reactiveness level is lowered and you are less stressed and anxious even though the symptoms persist? Another effect is that some of the people in your environment (family members, workmates, friends) can be challenged by the changes in you, as you become clearer around your needs. There can be bodily shifts too. As your brain becomes more finely tuned, the negative effects of some of our bad habits become harder to ignore, like drinking too much or not getting enough sleep. Your tolerance for alcohol may reduce, so the same amount of alcohol will feel like more, so please adjust accordingly. This is relevant for all artificial stimulants – e.g. coffee, sugar etc.

How will I know if Neurofeedback can help me?
International Clinical Studies based on over three million hours of experience with the specific Neurofeedback systems that we use, we can make some predictions. Clinical studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of Neurofeedback across a large variety of presentations, so the good thing is you do not have to take it on faith and trust that it will help you — you will know pretty quickly when it is helping you. Your dedicated Neurofeedback Practitioner can talk you through these studies to put your mind at ease if you like. If you see any changes at all, even if it not yet what you are looking for, or even if it is something you don’t want or expect, it is always helpful and important to share with us because it tells us that your brain is responding to the information which the Neurofeedback is providing.
