ABC dEcode® FAQ 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 (link) and auditory processing (link) required
for automaticity. Back to top
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. Back

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® (link).
Reading comprehension is dependent upon oral comprehension once the student
can decode. Back to top
5. Is there a similarity between a Math Learning Disability
and reading difficulties?
There can be:
- Students with dyslexia will have difficulty with signs of operations
and word problems, for instance.
- Short term memory problems can affect the retention of sound/symbol
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. Back to top
