Can you please direct me to a place in Michigan that diagnoses dyslexia free of charge? We have spent so much money getting my nine year old daughter tested. We have always suspected that she may be dyslexic, but it was dismissed by the psychologist we hired to do educational testing for our child. Finally, I took her to The Michigan Dyslexia Institute where they looked at all her tests and did their own evaluation. They determined that she has characteristics of dyslexia and they can help her but they cannot diagnose her.

Ivy Guide is a new pen translator in the concept stage that may help make learning a foreign language easier.

We’ve recently blogged about how ChromaGen Lenses are not in themselves a treatment for dyslexia.

There have been many more disconcerting pieces in the news cropping up about the "effectiveness" of the lenses as a treatment for dyslexia, such as this one over at Fox News.

A new study performed by the Smithsonian Institute found that ebook readers may actually be more effective at helping dyslexics with reading comprehension than traditional print books.

ChromaGen colored lenses have been approved to aid in the treatment of visual problems, but they have not been approved to treat dyslexia.

Traditionally, students with dyslexia have been identified in schools only as having a specific learning disability, rather than having their dyslexia recognized formally, and as a result, many students were not getting the assistance they required to help them with reading or other educational issues.

When Sal Khan uploaded a few 15-minute tutoring lessons to YouTube in order to help his seventh-grade cousin with algebra, he never imagined that his videos would one day be viewed by over 4 million pupils.

My son is now 25 and a college graduate. He was diagnosed with dyslexia in the 3rd grade. We were under the impression that it just affected reading/writing/spelling. But he has also struggled with language expression. When someone asks him a question, he has a pause time—so he can think through the question and form an answer. We found out that this is also a part of dyslexia. Our question is: Is there anything that can be done to help the pause time? So that it doesn't take as long for him to form his answers?

I’m writing on behalf of my sister and her 8-year-old son, who has significant dyslexia. Everything I’ve read on your website has been eye-opening—it aligns with what my sister has been experiencing and trying to support. Her son struggles with school-related activities that should be fun, like plays and class parties, often becoming anxious and developing a tic, though he remains a kind and well-behaved child. He’s falling behind academically, and the school has provided little help, prompting my sister to consider moving and enrolling him in a specialized school. We’re concerned about the impact of such a big transition and are wondering if a behavioral or clinical psychologist could help. As a nurse, I’m frustrated that, despite England being a country known for its education system, dyslexic children like my nephew are still being let down.
