Webcast Description: What exactly is dyslexia, anyway?  Is it seeing words backwards?  Reversing b’s and d’s?  Does it impact academic subjects outside of reading?  Learn the working definition of dyslexia from The International Dyslexia Association and the National Institute of Health.  Find out the latest scientific research.   And, most important, hear about what can be done for someone you suspect may have dyslexia.
