The author introduces his subject by listing characteristics which were found to be not common, fairly common, and universal in a group of 45 boys who had reading problems. The data indicated that some neurological involvement was frequently an underlying cause. After searching neurological literature for answers to reading problems the author states that he was confused by the conflicting findings. He then developed a process by which persons might achieve a better neurological organization that would prevent reading problems or facilitate learning to read. The rationale for the proposed tests for neurological disorganization and the methods for establishing neurological organization is not entirely clear. Procedures such as reducing fluid intake, controlling postures during sleep, establishing central dominance, and not listening to music are suggested, but no controlled experimental data are given.
