If a child is to learn to read and write smoothly, one of the fundamental capacities that must be developed is spatial orientation. Early childhood movement patterns such as rolling, crawling, rocking, and later walking, running, climbing, and swinging all help the child's brain create a sensory "map" of where he is in space at any one time. Children with dyslexia (spelling and reading difficulties) almost always have poor spatial orientation when they come to our clinic. This will result in letter reversals that last into the age of seven, as well as a poor memory for word shapes. It's like telling a child to keep beating his head against the wall by pushing him to do more and more of the skills he already suffers with (reading, writing, and spelling) without addressing the underlying reason.

Whatever the cause of his delay, the good news is that, thanks to the brain's plasticity and malleability, all of his early childhood movement patterns may be revisited. The child will then get a second chance to improve his spatial orientation, making it easier for him to learn. If your child has dyslexia, it could also be due to an auditory processing impairment or disorder, in which case Auditory Retraining Therapy could help. Filtered music is used in this therapy to help the brain mature the pathways needed to recognize distinct sounds when reading and spelling, as well as to comprehend spoken language swiftly and efficiently. Music therapy can also help youngsters who are easily overwhelmed, hypersensitive, worried, or have trouble managing their emotions.

The development of a spatial awareness of the self in relation to the entities that share space with you is the goal of understanding spatial notions. This notion revolves around the self, which is critical to one's overall impression of, well, everything. To get knowledge of such vital information as distance, position, and speed, for example, a person must first grasp his location.
