ABC dEcode® Answers

The most frequently asked question is:

1. My child is dyslexic. Can dEcode® help when so many other programs have failed?

Yes. The dEcode® method is unique. It is neither phonics based nor whole language based.

For math and reading, the dEcode® method is sensitive to each individual's needs to ensure minute step by step increments of awareness in developing the visual and auditory processing required for automaticity.

2. Is dEcode® suitable for adults?

Yes. This is because it gets at the underlying processing deficits affecting reading, further language development, as well as math.

3. Is the ability to read tied in with an individuals IQ?

No. There is no correlation between IQ and reading decoding. People with IQ's in the Superior range can have difficulty with decoding, just as people who are in the average range or below.

4. Does this mean that even with average or below intelligence, a person should be able to read?

Absolutely. But remember, we are talking about dEcoding®. Reading comprehension is dependent upon oral comprehension once the student can decode.

5. Is there a similarity between a Math Learning Disability and reading difficulties?

There can be:

• For example, students with dyslexia will have difficulty with signs of operations and word problems.
• Short term memory problems can affect the retention of sounds and symbols in the same way that it can prevent the learning of basic computational skills.
• Visual patterning problems, visual processing problems, and sequencing problems can affect retention and visualization of reading decoding as well as the learning of multi step calculations in math and accuracy of computation.
