I am mindful that some techniques gain popularity but not sustainability (or sometimes not even real utility) and some even seem to be nearly miraculous until solid empirical research proves otherwise (facilitated communication comes to mind, used in the field of autism in the 90’s until empirical research debunked it). So, yes, my age is showing!<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have lived long enough, you will notice that dyslexia, a term much more in favor in the late 60’s and 70’s (along with "minimal brain dysfunction”, which was the precursor for LD that then went “out” when the "specific learning disabilities" “umbrella” term encompassed the more specific diagnoses like dyslexia, dysgraphia, etc.) Now dyslexia (which diagnostically never really left the building) seems to be the preferred buzz word getting focus in some settings, including teacher prep programs at some universities…….crazy.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">K</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">

<div class=""><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt" class="">Don Deshler and I briefly considered my dissertation research investigating the effects of dyslexic-specific fonts. Around that time (2010-2011) I was not able to find much empirical research in this small
field. It was thought that the difference in weighing letters--such as giving the lowercase b a thicker, flared base would help distinguish it from letters like a lowercase h or d, and spacing the letters and words differently--would aid those with dyslexia
read more effectively. </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div class=""><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt" class="">Well our research idea never came to fruition but earlier this summer a study was published on the effects of the font Dyslexie. In a sample size of 39 students grades 2-6, students were asked to read four
different passages in four different treatments comparing the Dyslexie and Arieal fonts. Results suggest that the unequal weighting of letters mattered less than the letter and word spacing. I did not come away from this article feeling as if the font was
especially <i class="">good or bad</i>, but in this singular study, appeared to somewhat help those with dyslexia. </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

fairly high performing students with disabilities, or high performing parents who have students with disabilities. LOL Anyway, he was working with a young man (10th grade) this fall, who excels in math and science but was “diagnosed” dyslexic. He shared
that this student is very motivated to learn to read better. My colleague with whom I am coaching had heard about a font for students with dyslexia called dyslexie. He bought it, and tried it with the young man. The 10th grade student looked at his tutor,
and said “Oh, my gosh, I understand this sentence!” It was alike a lightbulb turned on in his head by just reading something with this particular font.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
