Abstract: Forty per cent of a childâs waking life is spent in school and one of the most intrusive impacts on the success or otherwise of this experience is that of reading difficulties.

The paediatrician may be consulted for a child with dyslexia to advocate, interpret predisposing factors in the childâs developmental and medical history and offer scientific interpretation of the vast range of theories and interventions proposed for dyslexia.

No commentsRoche Diabetes Social Media Summit
