Findings in two new reports from the USA have relevance for Ontario

Don’t ‘Dys’ Our Kids — Dyslexia and the Quest for Grade-Level Reading Proficiency,” examines the connections between teaching children with dyslexia (and other learning disabilities) to read, and improving reading proficiency among all children. The authors of the report conducted extensive interviews with leading learning disabilities experts in the USA.

Learning Disabilities Facts and Trends: 2012 Review, prepared for the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) by The Advocacy Institute, analyzes learning disabilities trends, facts, needs, challenges, and opportunities in the USA. Public awareness and teacher training are among several issues that have parallels in Ontario.
