The male to female ratio was (1.09:1). Their age ranged from 9 to 12 years. 2- Normal distribution curve of their IQs with shift to the right and below (10) years children were -superior than others.(26.5%) of above average children ~ad low scores on S.R.T. with Homogenous results for both sex and age groups. 3- Nearly equal resul ts for both sexes about visual acuity but females were more affected at hearing and neuropsychiatric levels. 4- By use of Aaron’s diagnostic tests more accurate and differentiating results were obtained. children with male to female ratio (3:1). 6- Weak post ti ve correlation was found between resul ts of P. 1. T. and stanford Binet test. 7- Male children were more affected than females at the error levels and the main letters error was insertion hut the main for words was substitution. 8- The lower the scioeconomic state the worse the reading disability, (62.5%) of develop dyslexics were of low socieconomic but (71.4%) and (100%) were of low socioeconomic for both N.S.R.D. and non readers for the reading disabled group (29.4%). 15- Normal readers children were the least for neuropsychiatric signs and problems. 16- Developmental dyslexic children have good vision, hearing and without any chronic illness. RECOlIlfENDATIONS: ------’--------- We can direct our recommendations at two levels: I- Treabnent: The treatment is based on developmental dyslexic children are trainable with specialized reading systems that have been devised which utilize sensory modality training in the learning process. They have average or above I.Q. and good health. So: - Suggestion of reading programs and study of t.heir efficacy. - Psychiat.ric study before and after SUccesse£ul programs. - Combined reading programs and psychiatric ~herapy. II- Study of some suggested related disorders: - Immune disorders. - E.E.G. changes and other signs for brain laterality in different disabled groups. |
