Dyslexia Children's Book

I am proud and happy to introduce my children's book, I Have Dyslexia. What Does That Mean?

This book was written with my daughter. It is intended to give dyslexic children a voice and parents and teachers a tool to use to discuss dyslexia with their children or students.

As the new school year rapidly approaches, I hope you will find this book helpful in discussing the most commonly diagnosed learning disability, dyslexia.

The Importance of Early Intervention

If your child is struggling, don't wait, get help now. Early intervention is key to a child's success in reading, writing, and spelling. Read the statistics in an article from LDonline.org.

Contact Dyslexia Testing & Information Services, LLC for information about dyslexia testing and tutoring.

Dislecksia: The Movie

In a comic documentary, Dislecksia: The Movie, dyslexic director Harvey Hubbell V will present the latest scientific knowledge about dyslexia and the experiences of dyslexics.

Viewers will come to know dyslexics — and those who teach them and study them — not just as statistics or talking heads but as people. Audiences will learn about dyslexia: its causes, its effects, and what can be done about it.

Grant Funds Genetic Test for Dyslexia

Yale University has won a $5.2 million dollar grant to conduct studies in locating genes involved with dyslexia.

The research will be led by Dr. Jeffrey Gruen, an associate professor at the Department of Pediatrics, Genetics, and Investigative Medicine at Yale. Gruen's discovery of the DCDC2 gene involved in dyslexia was named one of the top 10 scientific breakthroughs of 2005 by the journal Science.
