Warning against dyslexia quick-fix

The Sunday Telegraph

29th October 2000

Parents have been warned against accepting claims by some experts in the United States that seasickness drugs can transform the condition of dyslexic children. The British Dyslexia Association said the claims were unsubstantiated and that educational techniques had been shown to be most effective.

Dr Levinson's response to this article:

I have been following with amazement the British Dyslexia Association's increasing fear that dyslexic children and adults can be medically diagnosed and significantly helped - safely, rapidly and often dramatically.

Over the recent past, my 30-year dyslexia-cerebellar (inner-ear) concepts have been independently validated worldwide and supported by cerebellar neurophysiologist and Nobel Laureate Sir John Eccles and other distinguished scientists - some within the British Dyslexia Association.

Since I have had an 80 - 90% improvement rate among UK dyslexic children who have previously failed to improve with BDA educational methods, I can only conclude that this association is far more interested in helping themselves vs. suffering dyslexics and their loving families - especially as the BDA has similarly negated all other helpful therapies to date.
