Abstract
A Title III grant made possible a three year experimental program to determine if children with the specific reading disability, dyslexia, could be remediated by the use of a structural-linguistic procedure taught through a multi-sensory approach. This remedial procedure was taught on a one-to-one basis of instruction through the use of para-educational personnel under close supervision in a regular public school setting. During the two years of the program seventy-eight students attended the full day Perceptual Development Center Program and 545 students participated in an hour-a-day reading program. Test-retest data revealed that students receiving this specialized training improved in reading skills and retained this gain or further improved after dismissal from the program.Keywords
