“Dyslexia and the Brain” Article from International Dyslexia Association (IDA)

by Irene

Researchers are continually conducting studies to learn more about the causes of dyslexia, early identification of dyslexia, and the most effective treatments for dyslexia.  Neuroimaging has given new insights into the effects of dyslexia on the brain.  Here is a link to a recent article put out by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA).

Here is the summary paragraph:

“The role of the brain in developmental dyslexia has been studied in the context of brain anatomy, brain chemistry, and brain function—and in combination with interventions to improve reading and information about genetic influences. Together with results of behavioral studies, this information will help researchers to identify the causes of dyslexia, continue to explore early identification of dyslexia, and determine the best avenues for its treatment.”
