Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

Yet another example of the brain / body connection in learning. A 2003 study, Balance and Gait in Children with Dyslexia, analyzed how children walked. Twenty two dyslexic students and eighteen normal controls were assessed walking over flat or rough terrain at four different speeds. They found enough difference between the dyslexic and control groups that in some tests they could predict, with 70 – 85% accuracy, which students were dyslexic.
This is further evidence that cerebellum and vestibular issues are highly prevalent in dyslexics. This does not prove cause and effect but it lends support to treatment programmes such as DDAT / Dore that focus on balance and movement.
One of the researchers, Rolf Moe-Nilssen, has done a lot of work on balance and gait with the elderly.
