Remediation Approaches • Phonology and other language structures are explicitly and systematically taught
• Large amount of practice given
• Mode of delivery: small group or one-one
• Use of enhancing techniques (multi-sensory techniques linking listening, speaking, reading, and writing)
MSL Remediation Approaches • Systematic, cumulative, explicit, and sequential approaches that allow professionals to teach language structure at many levels
• Emphasize the importance of multi-sensory engagement of the learner using motor, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic feedback combined with extensive, controlled practice in word recognition.
Multisensory Structured Language (MSL) Programs
• Long history of use in the classroom and clinics – successful in teaching students to read, write and use language.
• Programs vary in the extent to which they have been investigated using scientifically valid research studies.

“There are a vast array of educational interventions that claim to improve educational outcomes and to be supported by evidence…
...introduced with great fanfare as being able to produce dramatic gains…
…yielding little in the way of positive and long lasting changes”

Randomized Controlled TrialsGroups
• Intervention (under study)
• Other intervention program
•Active control (Placebo control
or “sugar pill” )
•No intervention (passive control)
Randomized Controlled TrialsDesign
• Randomized assignment of dyslexic individuals into different groups
• Compare the groups after intervention
• Groups are equal in reading measures prior to the intervention
• Cross over design
Clinical Trial: Study Design 1• Randomized assignment of individuals into two groups receiving different interventions
• Groups are equal in reading measures prior to the intervention
• Compare the two groups after intervention

Effective in two or more settings
= Strong Evidence
Pre-post studies do not comprise “strong” or even “possible evidence” - often produce erroneous results
CSL – Jemicy School Study
• Treatment Group: Reading Intervention (“Seeing Stars”)
• Active Control Group: Math Intervention (“On Cloud Nine”)
• Developmental Control: No Intervention
Interventions administered in the same five-on-one fashion.

Reading Intervention: Lindamood-Bell Seeing Stars ®: Symbol Imagery for Phonemic Awareness, Sight Words and Spelling Program.Math Intervention: Lindamood-Bell On Cloud Nine ®:
Seeing Stars: Symbol Imagery for Phonemic Awareness, Sight
Words, and SpellingGoal: Develop symbol imagery (i.e. the ability to create
mental representations for sounds and letters within words).
● refining the speed and accuracy of PA and PP● establishing a visual memory base for sight words● increasing fluency and rate in contextual reading● improving phonetic and orthographic spelling.
Program progresses from visualization for single sounds and letters through to multisyllable reading and spelling, with application to contextual reading and spelling.
Results: still being analyzed
