Consider the Definition of Dyslexia

Hugh Catts

Dr. Hugh Catts joined AIM in July for a webinar to discuss the definition of dyslexia. He discussed this timely topic and shared literacy research including: recognizing the severity and persistence of word-reading, decoding, and spelling difficulties, acknowledging the multifactorial causal basis of dyslexia, clarifying exclusionary factors, and highlighting secondary academic and biophysical consequences associated with dyslexia.
