## What is CDSM?

About the App CDSM: Cintron Dyslexia Solutions with Music

When you purchase the app, if you'd like a voucher to receive the Spelling Exercises, so you can check your child's work, email Dr. Cintron with purchase verification here. www.Dyslexia-solutions.com. She will send you the spelling exercises in a digital file.

This app requires internet connection and is divided into three subgroups. Students should be 7 years or older for using these exercises with the music. Music is always played in the LEFT ear and spelling in the RIGHT ear. This is called "Enhanced Lateralization."
For each button, students tap the button to begin the exercise, which can be paused, rewound, or fast forwarded as the student desires using the back, pause, and forward arrows.

Subgroup 1: Music which is played in the left ear during any reading exercise and letter names and sounds for practice if needed.

Subgroup 2: Spelling word lists increasing in difficulty. There are 28 spelling exercises.  Be sure the music is played in the left ear.

Subgroup 3: Spelling sentence groups also increasing in difficulty. There are 8 sentence groups. Be sure the music is played in the left ear.  


Why This App Is Unique?

It works! Unlock your dyslexic child's genius which is hidden because of a low self-esteem.

Sending music in the left ear while the child studies with our reading program helps him/her learn faster! Results consist of students: improved self-esteem, reading without being overwhelmed, writing better paragraphs, speaking up and sharing ideas, moving to the top of the class, loving school and learning.

Disclaimer: These educational exercises are created for the purpose of improving spelling and listening skills and are not intended to provide any kind of clinical or legal diagnosis. If you need a formal diagnosis of any learning disability, you must consult with a psychologist, neuropsychologist, child psychologist, developmental pediatrician or anyone who holds a PhD.

### 1/5 — My Side of The Review

*2021-06-25*

The music and notes didn’t really work when l pressed them so…

### 1/5 — Dyslexia doesn’t go away

*2019-12-30*

This app seems like it would help with dyslexia, but coming from a teenager with Dyslexia it doesn’t go away if you have it you have it your whole life. So the people in charge of the app set up take away the part on the app preview that says “this app helps get rid of dyslexia” because that is false advertising. It is passed down through your genes, and this “Doctor” who created this app needs some reteaching about Dyslexia.

### 5/5 — Great reading exercises for people with dyselxia!

*2019-09-22*

The music played along with the reading exercises helps engage both sides of the brain

### 5/5 — Producer

*2019-09-22*

The complete program is excellent.  I will gladly give the producer a five star rating. TRFtomirose
