Quote:
"If treatment delivery fails to take into account a potential role for dyslexia Then the treatment will not be matched to an offender's learning style And can be expected to do little to maximize success."

Also other researchers have the vision that awareness of the possibilities is a prerequisit for success of further programs: Dr. Jeffrey Pfeifer, Chair - Department of Psychological Sciences & Statistics of Swinburne University in Australie makes the following statement:

"The ability of offenders to profit from rehabilitative programs is premised upon the requisite core cognitive skill to do so, including motivation, openness to intervention, etc."

"Cognitive skills programs should be aimed at increasing these specific skills so that the individual is "ready" to make the most of rehabilitative programming."
