In the absence of effective conventional treatment, it is likely that parents will seek complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to try and help their children. However, little is known about the level of CAM use or the type of CAM used by dyslexic children.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Aims:<\/jats:italic> This study assessed: (1) the lifetime use of CAM by dyslexic children, (2) the role of socio\u2010demographic factors in CAM use by dyslexic children, (3) parental attitudes towards CAM use in the treatment of dyslexia, and (4) how parents' understanding of dyslexia affects CAM use.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods &amp; Procedures:<\/jats:italic> A semi\u2010structured questionnaire\u2010based survey of parents of 148 dyslexic school children was undertaken. The children had been recruited to a university research programme investigating the effectiveness of a complementary therapy for the treatment of learning difficulties.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Outcomes &amp; Results:<\/jats:italic> Lifetime use of CAM was 55.4% (82 children). The most popular CAM approaches were nutritional supplements\/special diets (63 children) followed by homeopathy (29 children) and osteopathy\/chiropractic manipulation (29 children). Socio\u2010demographic factors did not predict CAM use. In total, parents of 101 dyslexic children reported that an interest in CAM for the treatment of dyslexia was based on their preference for CAM for their families more generally. Parents who thought that dyslexia was a \u2018medical\/health\u2019 disorder were more likely to have used CAM with their children (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.01) than other parents in this survey.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions &amp; Implications:<\/jats:italic> Educational and health professionals should be aware that many dyslexic children use CAM. Parents of dyslexic children should be provided with evidence\u2010based advice to help them make informed therapeutic choices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/13682820802015643","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,21]],"date-time":"2008-06-21T12:21:14Z","timestamp":1214050874000},"page":"224-235","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Survey of complementary and alternative therapies used by children with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Leona","family":"Bull","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"Non\u2010Broadcast Adjudication: The Post House Family Complementary and Alternative Medicine Centre","author":"Advertising Standards Authority (ATC)","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0965-2299(95)80072-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/08830738040190100401"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1754.2007.01225.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","volume-title":"Dyslexia, Literacy and Psychological Assessment: Report of the Working Party of the Division of Educational and Child Psychology","author":"British Psychological Society","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/03004430212129"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctcp.2006.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2005.074872"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","volume-title":"Sound Therapy Through the Listening Program","author":"Davis A.","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004310051000"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2005.087163"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0300443991580109"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","volume-title":"Reading Remediation: An Evaluation of Traditional Phonologically Based Interventions \u2014 A Review for the Department of Education and Skills","author":"Fawcett A.","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","volume-title":"Evaluating Therapies Excluding Traditional Reading and Phonological Based Therapies: A Review for the Department of Education and Skills, the British Dyslexia Association and the Dyslexia Institute","author":"Fawcett A.","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00222895.1995.9941713"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","volume-title":"Breakthrough for Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities","author":"Ferrari C.","year":"1984"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","first-page":"729","article-title":"Effects of osteopathic medical management on neurologic development in children","volume":"92","author":"Frymann V.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Journal of the American Osteopathy Association"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2004.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","first-page":"55","article-title":"Observations on the use of Baryta Carbonica in adult dyslexics","volume":"1","author":"Hinds J.","year":"1985","journal-title":"Communications"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0306-9877(95)90246-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","volume-title":"The Sunflower Method: A New Approach to Helping Children with Learning Difficulties","author":"Mathews M.","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2004.052514"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_1","unstructured":"McCrossinS.The effect of acupressure treatment on standard intelligence test scores and reading comprehension for children with learning difficulties.1996 Unpublished Honour's thesis Swinburne University Melbourne"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_1","first-page":"113","volume-title":"Neuropsychological Foundations of Learning Disabilities: A Handbook of Issues, Methods and Practice","author":"Nieves N.","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_26_1","unstructured":"Ofcom 2004 Advertising Complaints Bulletin A09 (10 May) (available at:http:www.ofcom.org.uktvobbadvcompa09A09.pdf) (accessed on 27 July 2006)"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_27_1","unstructured":"Ofcom 2005 Complaints Report: Showing Complaints & Interventions.
