Abstract:
This video is meant for anyone who is interested in dyslexia, a form of human variability that confers challenges as well as gifts. This includes a brief history of language development, a review of typical reading development/pathways, and a discussion of the neuroscientific research on dyslexia, possible causes for the different types of dyslexia, and suggestions for interventions. I recorded this talk in preparation for a section I offered on this topic in the Neuroscience of Learning course. You can find a list of resources about dyslexia and language development/reading on the dyslexia research page of my website.
