Dyslexia fix found
Dyslexia; News from the web:
As Dyslexia is related to how children encode sounds they hear, researchers have fitted kids with enhanced listening devices to ensure they get the relevant sounds and are less distracted by other sounds. After a year the kids showed amazing progress.

Speed reading for adults with Dyslexia
Dyslexia; News from the web:
This is a novel approach. Instead of the type of treatment where you breakdown words, slow down to a snails pace and sound out syllables, here is a treatment that seems to work but requires speeding up when reading.

Funding for study of Autism, Dyslexia and ADHD
Dyslexia; News from the web:
The Team has received the money to investigate whether there is an increase in the number of children with behaviour-related conditions such as autism, dyslexia or ADHD, or whether the increase can be explained by better recognition and diagnosis.

New Dyslexia research
Dyslexia; News from the web:
New research builds on the notion that certain genes are related to dyslexia. Here is the abstract:
Independent studies have shown that candidate genes for dyslexia and specific language impairment (SLI) impact upon reading/language-specific traits in the general population. To further explore the effect of disorder-associated genes on cognitive functions, we investigated whether they play a role in broader cognitive traits. We tested a panel of dyslexia and SLI genetic risk factors for association with two measures of general cognitive abilities, or IQ, (verbal and non-verbal) in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) cohort (N>5,000). Only the MRPL19/C2ORF3 locus showed statistically significant association (minimum P = 0.00009) which was further supported by independent replications following analysis in four other cohorts. In addition, a fifth independent sample showed association between the MRPL19/C2ORF3 locus and white matter structure in the posterior part of the corpus callosum and cingulum, connecting large parts of the cortex in the parietal, occipital and temporal lobes. These findings suggest that this locus, originally identified as being associated with dyslexia, is likely to harbour genetic variants associated with general cognitive abilities by influencing white matter structure in localised neuronal regions.
