Abstract

The great increase of diagnoses of developmental dyslexia has been the purpose of this review. Its goal is to evaluate scientific studies which research the influence of sight and posture on developmental dyslexia; considering its neurobiological bases, therefore focusing on the systems involved, such as cerebellar, somatosensory, vestibular, and visual system. Interest has been given to both components which are movement and sight, focusing on experiments realized in Primary School. Therefore, it can be useful also for Preschool teachers to mature more awareness about the importance of promoting motor activity, a correct posture and avoid visual tiredness during the didactics, in order to prevent learning disorders.
