Abstract
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty manifested by an inability to fluently master reading and writing. There are many theories explaining the causes of dyslexia. Among the most recent views is the belief that there is a close connection between the occurrence of specific learning difficulties and sensory integration disorders. The close relationship between reading and writing, and auditory and visual perception, balance skills, postural control, proprioception should be empha-sized. Dyslexia can also result from neuromotor immaturity and unrestrained infantile reflexes, such as asymmetric tonic neck reflex, symmetric tonic neck reflex, or tonic vagus reflex. Unrestrained infantile reflexes contribute to, among other things, the inability to cross the midline of the body, difficulties in integrating the right and left and upper and lower sides of the body, and negatively affect visual perception, auditory perception, balance skills, and postural control. The preschool teacher plays an important role in the education process. Based on the child’s symptoms, he or she can select appropriate exercises and therapeutic programs to minimize the effects of neuromotor immaturity, sensory integration disorders, improve psychomotor functions necessary for learning to read and write. The earlier the therapeutic process starts, the more efficiently symptoms of dyslexia can be minimized.
