Join our Next LD Talk:
Neurobiology and Dyslexia: What We Know About the Brain and Learning
May 29, 2008
3 p.m. ET
Dyslexia is believed to have a biological basis, caused by an unusual organization of certain neuronal connections or brain cells.
Understanding how the brain processes information at the neurological level is a key component in figuring out how to support learners with dyslexia effectively and can help answer questions like: "How does the brain of someone with dyslexia process information?" or "How do brain scans help researchers understand dyslexia?"
Join Dr. Guinevere Eden, of the Center for the Study of Learning at Georgetown University, as she demystifies the connection between neurobiology and learning disabilities.
