Developed in Australia, by Dimitri Caplygin, the Cellfield treatment resulted from realization that none of the available treatments for reading disabilities or reading difficulties are based on contemporary research; which suggests that reading disabilities have multiple causes.

The Cellfield Intervention, employs the research of neuroscience from the past thirty years, but also the findings of brain scan research of recent years. Cellfield retains a platform in which phonological awareness and decoding skills are given prominence, but integrates a unique feature for the stimulation of transient vision, and the enhancement of attention and working memory.

The Cellfield programme is a computer based treatment that targets core skills required for early reading as well as the skills required for fluent reading. Phonological, auditory and visual processing is treated simultaneously to target the bridge between language and vision.

Treatment consists of ten one-hour sessions conducted over two weeks. Pre and post assessments are administered to measure improvements.

All treatment exercises have superimposed moving graphics, which are designed to 'load' the transient visual system in a systematic way, at the same time as phonological processing exercises are undertaken.

The Cellfield treatment is interactive and packaged to be progressively more difficult but motivating and interesting.
