title: [Treatment of dyslexia in childhood].
abstract: Dyslexia often causes failure at school, emotional problems in children and affects the occupational career of the adult. Early treatment is important, it includes: a) individual treatment of reading and writing performance by means of functional training and learning behavior management, b) strengthening the child's psychological ability by psychotherapy to handle the persisting handicap more successfully, c) special education at school and support of the family. Therapeutical efforts should be combined and integrated. Dyslexia tends to persist. As few as about 4% of severely disabled readers seem to attain normal reading level during high school. Treatment improves prognosis concerning educational and occupational career.
