Auditory Processing: Evaluation of Fast ForWord ® for Children with Dyslexia (a critique)
Overall, we found that participation in the FFW programs did not lead to any advantages in reading and spoken language compared to children receiving similar kinds of reading instruction (without FFW). Many established methods of reading instruction (such as Orton Gillingham) have had success in teaching children with dyslexia phonemic awareness and word attack skills.

Beginning Reading And Phonological Awareness For Students With Learning Disabilities
Many children with learning disabilities have deficiencies in their ability to process phonological information. Thus, they do not readily learn how to relate letters of the alphabet to the sounds of language (Lyon, 1995). For all students, the processes of phonological awareness, including phonemic awareness, must be explicitly taught.

Children's Learning Centers Program
Currently 47 Children's Learning Centers in 15 states provide tutoring at no charge to children from kindergarten through high school who have been diagnosed as dyslexic. Children are eligible regardless of economic status, race, religion, or Masonic affiliation. The positive impact of early intervention on the lives of these children and their families is enormous, and inspires our commitment to this program.

Davis Dyslexia Association International
Dyslexic people are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers. We are intuitive and highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning. Because we think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for us to understand letters, numbers, symbols, and written words.

Dyslexia gene identified by Welsh scientists
The amazing gene discovery involved analysis of 300 families in Wales and the west of England where at least one child suffered from dyslexia. The team spent four years concentrating on a region of the sixth chromosome, thought to be linked to the disorder.

Why Stevie Can't Spell
The dyslexia Shaywitz sees in her lab may explain why some people can never learn to spell. "Poor spelling may well be the last remnant of dyslexia that a person has otherwise compensated for," she says. "But it's something we haven't looked at directly."

Yahoo dyslexia support group
This list is a support list for parents of children who are dyslexic. The lists purpose is to be a resource for those parents as they set out to help their child/children be successful in every area of their lives that dyslexia touches. It is a place to share ideas and exchange ways of helping. My hope is that this list will be a place that will be a refuge for parents as they navigate the maze of various therapies, treatments, special ed. departments, school personel, methods of education for both their child and themselves, and the emotions that a child who is dyslexic may deal with periodically. Hopefully this can also be a place where professionals who work with dyslexia can come and provide tips.
