O-DMP, Preschool Dyslexia Intervention Program

Dyslexia is a neurologically based learning awareness seen in individuals with normal intelligence, and it is critical to detect and intervene early with tools such as ODIST in the preschool period. Intervention programs implemented in this process; It creates a strong foundation for the child's future success in fluent reading and comprehension by developing basic cognitive skills such as visual processing, short-term memory and phonological awareness.

Child Youth Counseling
Dyslexia; It is a neurologically based learning difference that occurs with fluent reading and reading comprehension difficulties in individuals with normal or supernormal intelligence and constitutes a large part of the specific learning disability group. In the preschool period, it may manifest itself with symptoms such as delay in language development, pronunciation problems, limited vocabulary, difficulty in following instructions, attention and memory problems, and phonological awareness deficiencies. Developed in this direction, ODIST (Preschool Dyslexia Symptoms Test) is a comprehensive assessment tool with scientific validity and reliability that aims to detect the risk of dyslexia in children between the ages of 48 and 72 months at an early stage.
This test, which analyzes the child's performance in five basic areas: automatic patterning, short-term memory, visual processing, developmental language and phonological awareness, makes a significant contribution to early diagnosis and planning of appropriate intervention programs. Research shows that if the risks identified at an early age are supported by the right education programs, children's development progresses positively and their academic success increases. Prepared in this context
The Preschool Dyslexia Intervention Program aims to create a strong foundation for children's fluent reading and reading comprehension processes by systematically improving their developmental language skills, automatic pattern, short-term memory, visual processing and phonological awareness skills.
Fluent reading skills; It develops through the harmonious work of basic cognitive processes such as automatic pattern, short-term memory, visual processing and phonological awareness. The automatic pattern establishes a strong relationship with reading fluency and auditory short-term memory by allowing the individual to quickly and accurately identify objects, letters and symbols. While short-term (working) memory plays a critical role in processing, remembering and making sense of information; Visual processing contributes to the effective interpretation of visual data, which constitutes a large part of learning. Phonological awareness, as the ability to distinguish and structure sounds in spoken language, forms the basis of reading and writing and needs to be developed through planned education at an early age. Supporting these skills, especially in the preschool period, provides a significant advantage in strengthening children's fluent reading and reading comprehension skills in the following years.
