Using institutional and other forms of therapy by students with dysorthography

Abstract

There is a well organized therapeutic system for students with spelling disorders in Poland. The aim of the study was to analyze how students with spelling disorders use the therapeutic systems and other available forms of support. An on-line survey was conducted. Parents and their children and adolescents with spelling disorders participated in the study. Obtained results showed that almost all students use some form of therapeutic support. Students typically attend therapeutic sessions at different institutions once a week. They practice their spelling abilities at home twice a week. Parents and children evaluate methods of therapy as medium and/or more efficient. 82% of people with dysortography evaluate their regularity of work as very low, low and average. There is a need to extend the range of therapies for students with spelling disorders.
