October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. Screening for dyslexia has never been more easier. One app that has just been developed by neurolearning.com can screen anyone ages 7+. After the screening it provides a 20 page summary of the screening. Another app is being developed by Boston Children’s Hospital to screen kids even younger then 7 years. https://dyslexiaida.org/universal-screening-k-2-reading/
