The Windward School will present a lecture for parents and caregivers to educate them on the subject of dyslexia in children. Presented by Devin Kearns, PhD, the presentation will explain why children have dyslexia; how children with this language-based learning disability have brains that process specific tasks differently; and how this relates to their performance on reading-related tests.

Other possible causes of word-reading difficulty that can be confused with dyslexia will also be discussed, as will controversies, including the reason some people do not like the word. 

FREE, but advance registration required.
