News from the web:
An understanding of the role of genetics in dyslexia could help to diagnose and treat susceptible children more effectively and rapidly than is currently possible and in ways that account for their individual disabilities. This knowledge will also give new insights into the neurobiology of reading and language cognition. Genetic linkage analysis has identified regions of the genome that might harbour inherited variants that cause reading disability. In particular, loci on chromosomes 6 and 18 have shown strong and replicable effects on reading abilities. These genomic regions contain tens or hundreds of candidate genes, and studies aimed at the identification of the specific causal genetic variants are underway.

A kickstarter project that aims to produce a documentary named:”Embracing Dyslexia”.
In the directors words:
Embracing Dyslexia focuses on why it is important for educators and parents to know what dyslexia is and what it isn’t. We will learn what the tell-tale signs are and why screening for dyslexia early in a struggling reader’s life and being diagnosed is so important. We will hear from dyslexic children and their parents about the struggles they faced and the successes they’ve had after being diagnosed. Experts in the field of dyslexia will share the reasons why being diagnosed is only half the battle. We’ll see how some schools have taken the initiative and created classroom environments where dyslexic children can flourish. And we will visit with adults who have embraced their dyslexia and become quite successful.
