Comparison between the Effect of Neurofeedback and Fernald's Multisensory Approachon TreatingChildren with Dyslexia

This study aims at comparingthe effect of Neurofeedback and Fernald’s multisensory approach on treatment of students with dyslexia. For this purpose,six students (threegirls and three boys) with dyslexia were selected by convenience sampling from five LD centers in Tabriz city and were randomly divided into three groups; each included one male and one female. The first group received both Neurofeedback treatment and Fernald’s method, while the second group received Neurofeedback treatment only and Fernald’s multisensory approach was applied tothe third group.In this empirical case study with single baseline design, Nama reading and dyslexia test was used to evaluate students. Findings show that all subjects improved and the progresswas constant after two and three months. Eclectic treatment has the best results and students who received Fernald’s approach have better progress than those who received Neurofeedback. Also, while Neurofeedback improved comprehension and Fernald’s method helped students to develop expression skills, eclectic treatment affected both comprehension and expression skills.
