Correlative Study between Reading,Laterality,Mobility,and Binocularity

Abstract

The relationships among standardized reading scores and Delacato's measures of laterality, mobility, and binocularity in a group of 50 children from his clinic are presented in this article. Relationships are described for both the static condition at the onset of treatment and the extent of change during approximately 5 months of treatment. Significant static relationships were not observed; however, as mobility and laterality improved, reading also improved significantly. A brief discussion of the premises of therapy and the measures followed by Delacato is included.
