Abstract: A method of analyzing learning abilities and disabilities and administering learning therapy to students and other subjects. They are tested for reading ability while their behavior response patterns are being tested by instrumental means including instruments able to detect alpha brain wave patterns and physiological stress, and, where the instrument indicates that the test subject is undergoing a brain wave or stress pattern indicative of brain wave or stress patterns typically manifested by those having learning disabilities, general or specific therapy is administered to reduce the occurrence frequency and duration of high amplitude alpha waves and to reduce the stress patterns within the test subject by sensory motor therapy, print size variation reading therapy and nutritional therapy.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for teaching reading which is based on training the eye of a reader to fix or focus initially on a word or letter group lying within an area defined by an intentionally reduced or narrow angular lateral span, and subsequently to be exposed to groups of letters, words, and groups of words of gradually increasing lateral span. The student also systematizes the direction of a succession of eye movements and uses exterior rhythmic stimuli to reinforce the rhythm of eye movement.Preferably, the student is furnished with reading material which consists of a series of word groups of normal print size, arranged in logical sequence and of simple content. The words are observed by the student through an optical lens which greatly reduces the image size of the printed matter, causing each word to lie within a very small angular lateral span. The student then rhythmically moves his line of sight from the first or left-hand word in such group to the next horizontal word, etc.
