What is PROPRIOCEPTION, really?
It’s our “internal sense”—the ability that helps the body know where it is, how it’s moving, and how much force it should use.

Thanks to proprioception, a child can:
• grip a pencil with the right pressure
• judge how high to jump
• walk without tripping even with eyes closed
• focus better and regulate emotions more easily

How can we support it?
Through movement, resistance, deep pressure, and full-body activities!
Simple play at home—carrying groceries, jumping over pillows, wrapping up in a blanket, or walking on a sensory path—makes a huge difference!

Proprioception is the key to better coordination, balance, and confidence.

Occupational therapists & Speech therapists always have a container of play dough in their therapy bag…there are just so many benefits of play dough. Squish, squeeze, pinch, flatten, roll, cut, stamp, and mold and other fine motor playdough activities are just a few of the ways children can engage with play dough. It’s a classic modeling compound that is timeless, holds popularity, as well as longevity in childhood development.

Play dough serves as an exceptional tool for children with ASD, promoting sensory engagement and emotional regulation. By providing a tactile and creative outlet, it fosters focus and calmness, creating an optimal state for learning and development.

Even though spelling is more difficult and takes longer to master, reading and spelling are two sides of the same coin. In systematic synthetic phonics, spelling is taught from the very beginning alongside reading using the same alphabetic knowledge. This efficient approach teaches the alphabetic code by decoding (matching print to sounds) and encoding (matching sounds to print).

With explicit teaching of skills such as mapping out words, spelling rules and morphology, student's spellings and reading are both improved significantly, allowing them to better understand and retain the information, leading to greater confidence in their reading and writing abilities.

🌟 Understanding the Role of Dyslexia Specialist Teachers 🌟 Ace-it Dyslexia Centre Omagh

For many parents new to the world of tutoring, the differences between general tutoring and dyslexia specialist tuition can be unclear. It’s important to recognise that dyslexia specialist educators undergo extensive training, equipping them with the skills necessary to support students with unique learning needs.

Our dyslexia specialist teacher has not only earned additional qualifications in dyslexia education but has also attained certification as a speech and language practitioner. This specialised training allows them to implement a wide range of research-based strategies tailored specifically for students with dyslexia, who often face greater challenges than those served by conventional tutors.

In a typical session, you might notice several advanced techniques that are not commonly addressed in standard tutoring. Here are some examples that were noted during 1 hourly session today:

🔍 **Addressing Letter Reversals:** Our approach includes specific strategies for common confusions, such as 'b' and 'd'. Different students may respond to different methods, so a diverse toolkit is essential.

🔍 **Speech Sound Differentiation and Difficulties:** We provide support for students who struggle with producing or distinguishing certain sounds, like the 'S' and 'Sh' sounds.

🔍 **Dyslexia-Friendly Spelling Techniques:** We employ strategies that cater specifically to the spelling challenges faced by students with dyslexia. Acronyms and multi-sensory word building help immensely.

🔍 **Explicit Instruction in Phonics:** We teach students that some sounds, such as the 'a' in 'was', can be pronounced differently, helping them achieve more accurate spelling.

🔍 **Engaging Resources:** We have access to a variety of specialised dyslexia resources that make learning enjoyable and multisensory, enhancing engagement and retention. These are often very costly and a typical home tutor wouldn't have the budget for these.

🔍 **Letter Formation Instruction:** Contrary to the belief that older students cannot learn proper letter formation, we continue to teach and reinforce this foundational skill.

🔍 **Personalised Learning Support:** We create targeted video tutorials for students to reinforce their goals, ensuring that they retain and build upon their new skills.

Understanding these aspects of dyslexia specialist tuition can help parents make informed decisions about the best support for their children. By choosing a qualified specialist, you are providing your child with the tailored interventions they need to thrive. 💪📚✨
