The Three Major Differences Seen in a Dyslexic Brain: Class 2 – Transformer Theory of Dyslexia

Course Description

We are living in a society where we are seeing more and more of our kids, especially from a low socioeconomic background, struggle with reading.   Why?  Is Dyslexia becoming more prevalent?  In this class we will not only develop an understanding of what Dyslexia is,  but we will also identify and delve into one of the three major differences seen in a Dyslexic brain.   Class 2 examines the most challenging subtype of Dyslexia, reviews testing and diagnosis, and provides well researched treatment strategies to get the best treatment outcomes.
