Dyslexia And Fast Forword® .jpg) | New research shows that children with dyslexia, compared to typical readers, have trouble processing fast-changing sounds. Scientists believe this prevents them from properly learning syllables when they first hear language, which later causes reading difficulties. Studies are now able to show that the brains of the children with dyslexia can change after completing exercises in the Fast ForWord® Language program. w: www.braingymdublin.net e: fionaking@eircom.net Dublin (085 1445494) |
