More on Dyslexia

I have a keen interest in research on dyslexia because I have a form it. In any case, I found new information concerning dyslexia research at the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at Children's Hospital Boston. What's different with this research compared to other research on dyslexia is that this research posits that sound training can help rewire the brains of children with dyslexia. The research group used MRI imagining, which detected that the brains of children with dyslexia have a problem processing fast-changing sounds. Researchers believe that young children with dyslexia are prime candidates to receive hours of training in daily increments that would help to rewire their brains prior to the children learning to read. I discovered an article about this research at Science Daily.com. Here is a link to the article for additional information:
