Abstract :
    Abstract The research at hand investigates the effects of neuropsychological treatment on reading efficiency of students suffering from developmental dyslexia.165 students suspected of dyslexia were selected through cluster sampling. Diagnostic tests (including wechslers intelligence scale for children –Reading disorder - ADHD and conduct disorder tests) were administered based on which sixty students were purposefully selected .The evaluated sample was then randomly divided into four categories based on Bakker s classification, each consisting of fifteen students (the L type experimental and control groups as well as P type control and experimental groups). Pretests were then administered after which the L type and the P type experimental groups received neuropsychological treatments (HSS) through 20 sessions. Control groups, however, did not receive any treatments. Subsequent to the mentioned procedures, post-tests were administered (immediately) while follow up tests were administered (after a period of four months). Data was analyzed through Mixed ANOVA and Dependant T Tests. Research findings indicate that neuropsychological interventions based on Bakker s balance model of reading, increases reading accuracy and comprehension of students suffering from developmental dyslexia of the L type. Neuropsychological interventions increase the speed and comprehension of students suffering from P type dyslexia. Follow up tests indicated the permanence of the effects of neuropsychological interventions after a duration of four months.
