DMP- Dyslexia Intervention Program

The main purpose of DMP, which was prepared by focusing on scientific research, is to improve the fluent reading and reading comprehension skills of dyslexic individuals. The basis of dyslexia is often difficulties in recognizing and analyzing sounds, automatic patterns and auditory short-term memory; DMP enables practical studies to be carried out in these areas of difference. The program consists of four parts: Visual Processing, Automatic Pattern, Short-Term Memory and Phonological Awareness. In the Visual Processing section, the processes related to the processing of visual information in the brain and eye tracking/coordination difficulties that may occur during reading are supported; In the Automatic Pattern section, the automation processes that affect fluent reading are discussed. In the Short-Term Memory section, there are exercises that progress from easy to difficult, aimed at strengthening auditory and visual short-term memory capacity. In the Phonological Awareness section, the basic infrastructure of reading and writing is supported with activities based on the analysis strategy at the sentence-word-syllable-sound level. Intervention process; It may vary depending on the child's age, cognitive/language development, accompanying areas and needs such as attention and working memory, therefore the frequency of sessions and total program duration are planned on an individualized basis. With regular practice and follow-up, DMP targets the child's motivation and self-confidence for learning, as well as their academic skills.
