This article is an in-depth interview with Dr. Sally Shaywitz that discusses her research on the brain, dyslexia and reading problems. Dr. Shaywitz is a professor of Pediatric Neurology at Yale University. She is the author of "Overcoming Dyslexia" and has published articles in many scientific and popular journals, including Nature, Journal of the American Medical Association, Scientific American and Child. I would recommend this article to parents, counselors, mentors and educators who are looking to get more information about dyslexia and reading difficulties. |
