Lili lamp for dyslexia
With Lili, I read and live again!
Content
What is it about ?
The "Lili for life" lamp brings comfort through a stroboscopic effect for reading and writing to some dyslexic people.
The lamp is efficient in the following cases:
- phonological dyslexia (connecting):
This kind of dyslexia is characterised by a decoding trouble, meaning graphemes-phonemes correspondency (from written sound to oral sound).
-
global shape perception of confusing letters, inversions and omissions.
-
surface dyslexia (word adressing):
Words' visual aspect is not stored in the internal lexicon. Therefore irregular letters and words are not recognised by the surface dyslexic person.
How to use it ?
This tool is to be used within the classroom in order to facilitate reading and reduce tiredness for dyslexic pupils. A test is to be planned with the pupil in order to set the lamp.
