Recently, many scientists have taken a turn in their research and begun to identify ways in which people with dyslexia may have skills that are superior to those of typical readers, particularly in certain artistic and scientific fields.

My son has dyslexia and ADHD and he is in first grade. Our IEP outlines he will have intensive Wilson instruction for 225 minutes a week. Just recently, I discovered that they are in fact using the Edmark Reading Program. Just some basic research on the web, looks like this is more a memory/sight words based program. Please let me know if this program is appropriate for children with dyslexia.

Scholastic Inc., the global children’s publishing, education, and media company is teaming up with Intel Corporation to design interactive gaming content for kids and families.

My son is attending his first semester at a small private college seminary and has been really struggling with his Spanish class. His older brother who teaches at another college indicated that in visiting with his younger brother he observed symptoms of dyslexia. How does one get an 18-year-old tested and a professional diagnosis made if appropriate? If a diagnosis is made, what is normally done to assist the adult student with learning in college?

I am seeking advice in the consideration of a foreign language waiver for my son. He is in the tenth grade and is dyslexic. Will this limit his ability to get into the college of his choice?

Whizzimo is a tool that allows teachers or tutors to digitize textbooks, flashcards, and other physical tools for reading instruction.

We have a 7th grader with dyslexia and ADHD. We live in Tulsa where resources for remediation and assistance are so scarce. He goes to a private school which has helped but I feel that he is getting more stressed and more behind as he gets older with the more reading that he will have. We are already members of Bookshare (which he doesn't use as often as he should since it requires sitting and listening). I am really stuck here. He's really smart but with 7th grade we have had a wall with the load of work. He dictates a lot of work to me but I feel that there should be ways to accommodate him so that he can do the work himself and feel as if he has ownership. Is he just going to have to find ways of compensating? I am looking at your app list right now.

The Joanne Ganz Cooney Center conducted a national survey of more than 1500 parents to ask how much their kids have learned from educational media.

My son was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia by outside professionals in 1st grade. In second grade the school conducted their own evaluation and placed him under special learning disability. He qualified for IEP and received some services in school. He is currently in 5th grade and the school is doing reevaluation test to see if he still has specific learning disability (at least that what the school psychologist explained to me). Obviously his dyslexia did not disappear, so I am now worried that if the school test will show that he is no longer qualifies they will take away his IEP. What would be my steps in case this happens? We live in CA.

A study by the Centre for Culture & Disability Studies at Liverpool Hope University reports on the use of Facebook as an educational resource by five dyslexic students at a Sixth Form College in England.
