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.

A new study by a research team in Spain has determined which computer fonts seem easiest for dyslexic individuals to read.

I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and am working part time in the New England area. I am wondering what you would recommend as the best battery to use to evaluate a 7-year-old child for dyslexia. I have experience in evaluating children for various presenting concerns, but it's been a while since I've done any learning disabilities assessment specifically. Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated so we can decide if we can provide this service for this client.

In January, Representative Bill Cassidy of Louisiana introduced a House Resolution that calls on schools and State and local educational agencies to recognize that dyslexia has significant educational implications that must be addressed.

I have a child in the 4th grade who struggles significantly with reading and this year we are seeing a big struggle with understanding math word problems. He has had an IEP in place since second grade and classified as Specific Learning Disability. He has been in the Wilson Program and this year he is now in the Wilson's Just Words. Even with this instruction he seems to be just reading words from memory. Do you know of any testing centers in Florida for dyslexia? Are there tests? The school states it is an outdated term etc....

I live in Pennsylvania. I have a seven year old daughter in second grade who is very bright but struggles to read and write. She was diagnosed with Convergence Disorder, tried Vision Therapy to limited success. She has had private tutors and tutoring with her own teacher during first grade. Please let me know of the diagnosis of dyslexia, educational opportunities, and teaching strategies for this child so that I may help her reach her full potential.

I am a 35-year-old male who lives in Iowa; I have recently come to the conclusion that I may be dyslexic. I am trying to find places to where I can get tested and have really come against a brick wall. I see from your website that you have information about testing in younger children, but wondered if you had any idea where adults can get tested? I really am having difficulties find anyone that does testing.

The researchers from Haskins used cognitive tasks and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to show that behaviorally, individuals with dyslexia showed a visuospatial processing advantage on a geometric figure processing task.

I’m looking for guidance on the special education dispute process for my 7th-grade daughter in Wisconsin. She was diagnosed with dyslexia and a processing disorder in 3rd grade and had been making good progress with an IEP and support, especially after we sent her to Lindamood-Bell for intensive instruction. However, once she entered middle school and was assigned a new case manager, her IEP goals were ignored, and she started to struggle again. Despite my concerns and an outside evaluation confirming ongoing difficulties, the school dismissed her from special education and denied additional support. I’ve filed an IDEA complaint and am trying to understand what steps to take next.

The Center for the Study of Learning at Georgetown University has unearthed new evidence that brain differences may be a result of dyslexia, rather than the cause.
