Answers will vary. In childhood, treatment of dyslexia focuses on remediation (Bakker, 2006). Children are given highly structured exercises to help them become aware of how to blend sounds to form words, such as identifying word pairs that rhyme and do not rhyme. Later in life, the focus tends to be on accommodation rather than on remediation. For example, college students with dyslexia may be given extra time to do the reading involved in taking tests.Evidence is mixed on whether placing disabled children in separate classes can also stigmatize them and segregate them from other children. In mainstreaming, disabled children are placed in regular classrooms that have been adapted to their needs. Most students with mild learning disorders spend most of the school day in regular classrooms (Fergusson, 2007).
