Cellfield’s specialised dyslexia treatment and reading intervention program can help any adult or child with:
Cellfield is a unique reading intervention designed to clear bottlenecks and create new connections in the brain which enhance the sensory functions that are critical for reading and comprehension.
It’s based on the principles of brain plasticity (the capacity of the brain to change when stimulated in the right way).
Benefits of Cellfield
Phase One
We carry out a dyslexia screening, or a dyslexia test that highlights strengths and weaknesses in processing. Once the pre-testing is done, the Cellfield sessions can begin.
The Cellfield intervention is computer based and consists of ten sessions daily – five days on, two days off, five days on. It begins with reading activities from a computer to target working memory. A high level of multifunction and simultaneous activity creates conditions of high brain plasticity. Cellfield ‘turbo-charges’ concentration, attention, motivation and retention.
‘Neural Redevelopment’ is conducted over ten sessions of approximately one hour per session per day, over two weeks. Clients are assigned worksheets each day to complete before the next session. These assignments correspond with the current work in progress during the Cellfield sessions. They relate the visual image of the computer screen to paper and writing.
The objective of Phase one is to address the root causes of dyslexia and learning difficulties. These root causes often stem from physiological flaws, resistance to the reading process and bottlenecks within the brain’s neural pathways. The Cellfield intervention ensures a sustainable transition to reading with fluency and good comprehension.
On average, children and adults, emerge from Phase One with remarkable gains in the skills necessary for reading. These skills need to be consolidated, developed and automatised in the Cellfield Phase Two intervention.
Phase Two
Phase Two has a central focus of reading fluency support. The client is guided into the world of reading, avoiding the negative “trigger points” of the “over-habituated”, “skill-and-drill” past.
This phase requires guided reading at home, supervised or assisted by parents or guardian. Students come to the centre once a week to maintain the momentum of Phase One. Phase Two consolidates gains made in the initial Phase One sessions.
An assignment book is used to record of the client’s progress and strengthens the connections in Phase Two.
Scientist use to believe that the brain differences that caused reading difficulties were hard wired. Research now suggests that our brain pathways can be changed! The Cellfield dyslexia treatment programme specially aims to reroute these pathways. It is the only dyslexia treatment that specifically targets the auditory, visual and the auditory to visual pathways in the brain.
