Introduction: Dyslexia represents a significant pediatric problem requiring prompt and appropriate treatment.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the significance of integral rehabilitation approach in treating dyslexia of children.
Methods: Objectives of the study were accomplished on a sample of 300 children, aged 11-15 years, with etiologically variable dyslexia.
Results: The results gained from the integral treatment of children with dyslexia were more successful than those obtained from isolated logaoedic treatment, when compared in 10-15 examined variables; replacement of graphically similar letters (p = 0.000), replacement of syllables (p = 0.010), replacement of words--guessing (p = 0.019), structural errors--displacement or insertion (p = 0.038), adding letters and syllables (p = 0.001), repeating of word parts (p = 0.001), reading of a word in several wrong ways (p = 0.001), omission of words and whole lines (p = 0.000), returning to already read line (p = 0.000), level of dyslexia (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: Dyslexia requires a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach in which integral rehabilitation treatment has an exceptionally large significance.
