[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about an OG tutor, not ASDEC, who also uses strong phonological program?  Ask your current OG tutor what they do for phonological training.  That's often the missing piece - why OG doesn't work as well as it should.  Kids really need OG PLUS strong phonological training. If your current tutor says they do a little of this and a little of that for the phonological piece, find an OG tutor with a really strong phonological program like Heggerty or Kilpatrick. Kids Up Reading Coaches has a really strong program.[/quote]

You have no clue what you’re talking about. ASDEC uses OG and sounds and syllables. It’s the very best there is. It IS OG plus phonological work. Get the information before you opine. [/quote]

DP - I'm relatively new to the dyslexia world (DS was diagnosed earlier this year), but have professional expertise in clinical psychology and clinical neuroscience.  One thing that's abundantly clear is that there is no "best" approach to treating dyslexia, not for every kid.  ASDEC may or may not be best for the OP's kid, but rigid adherence to one specific model of dyslexia remediation is, if nothing else, not supported by the published, peer-reviewed science.

Being rude to someone who is clearly trying to help a fellow parent isn't a great approach.  And especially not when the data doesn't support your assertions.[/quote]

No, it was rude to state that OG was superior to ASDEC in the face of numerous recommendations for asdec. And the data actually does support it. The only people who try to obfuscate that data are the schools. [/quote]
