The initial research on dyslexia indicated that dyslexics had a similar issue to stroke victims in their language processing. Meaning, their reading processor was damaged. This is still commonly thought to be the case today. But researcher, Dr. Levinson believes that the opposite is true. Believing, dyslexics have functional reading processors that are instead receiving scrambled signals before they reach that part of the brain.
Key Takeaways:
1
Dyslexia was first recognized in 1897 by two English men. They found bright kids that reversed letters, numbers, and spelling.
2
Dr. Levinson debunked the myth that the reading difficulty experienced by stroke patients and dyslexics are the same.
3
Dr. Levinson has not encountered or treated a person with dyslexia that had just a reading problem. They always have problems with writing, spelling, and other related symptoms.
