We need a new definition of #dyslexia

The researchers brought together 58 international experts in dyslexia, including academics, specialist teachers, educational psychologists, and individuals with dyslexia, to vote on whether they agreed with several key statements about dyslexia. The statements covered six key sections: the definition of dyslexia, intellectual abilities and dyslexia, the #AetiologyOfDyslexia, co-occurrence with other disorders, the changing impact of dyslexia over a lifespan, and common misconceptions.

42 statements received a consensus of more than 80% and were accepted by the group. They were then used to create the new definition of dyslexia

Are you interested in participating?

The study is all online (~30 mins).

HILDA WEYL SOKOL, 1928-2022

A 1981 symposium co-sponsored by Hilda Sokol of Dartmouth Medical School called to our attention, hereabouts, a sometimes neglected local hero, the Brattleboro Rat. The Rat has been a very useful creature in various medical research fields, ranging from diabetes to learning differences to depression. When I bring up this topic, people typically think I am joking; but actually it is very serious. We should raise a giant Brattleboro Rat statue in Pliny Park.

Many prestigious institutions and publications have posted learned articles about the Brattleboro Rat.
