See www.gvtc.ca and www.covd.org and realize that vision plays a huge role in reading literacy as well as phonetic awareness. Both are not emphasized (especially visual skills beyond "20/20" which is a shame) yet alone treated. I agree much more needs to be done but we need to also be a little more detailed than the term "dyslexia". For example, does your kid have dysphonetic dyslexia or dyseidetic dyslexia and do most parents even know the difference?

See our study published in a medical journal showing the oculomotor skills / visual skills are critical for reading. Yet this is something that is often ignored in children with reading issues. By the way, the learning disability association of Canada published in 2002 that the average kid with an IEP in place will earn $1.98m less over their lifetime. You would think the CRA would care about this and if dealt with properly would not only result in these poor kids being treated, but more $ to deal with the ridiculous deficit we have.
