Learning Techniques for Dyslexia, YES or NO?

The aim of learning techniques is to increase the ability to learn through brain mechanisms that are not being used by students. From this point of view, they are helpful for everyone, dyslexic or not.
But are they good enough for dyslexics as an isolated treatment?
The answer is NO.
Those techniques are only helpful after proprioceptive treatment.
In the cases where they are used before proprioceptive treatment, the effort/results ratio is usually very poor. Students are losing time, money and opportunities. The sooner they begin the proprioceptive treatment, the sooner they will acquire normal reading abilities.
