UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH CALL FOR RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS

Posted Oct 6, 2021 (see flyer below)

Dyslexic Advantage works on many fronts to overcome obstacles and challenges that face dyslexic children and adults. DA’s Dyslexia at School Survey, the largest of its kind in the United States, was used to support a new dyslexia law in California as well as in other states across the U.S. Dyslexic Advantage has been working with corporations and universities to increase awareness of dyslexia and its strengths among students, co-workers, and faculty, as well identify needs at awareness, policy, and tech levels to improve creative, work team, and hiring productivity.

Dyslexic Advantage-UCSF Dyslexia Beyond Reading Conference – researchers, dyslexia professionals, and dyslexic individuals came together in an event that included Drs. Fernette and Brock Eide, Dr. Itiel Dror, Dr. Fumiko Hoeft, Dr. Laurie Cutting, Dr. Matt Schneps, Dr. Rod Nicolson, Dr. Jonathan Schooler, Dr. Ken Pugh, Dr. Mark Beeman, and Dr. Maryann Wolf. The goals of these conferences are multiple – to stimulate top tier research into dyslexia-based brain differences, to confirm the scientific basis of dyslexic strengths, to provide researchers with greater context for dyslexic brain differences, and to acquaint the general public, educators, and dyslexic individuals with the importance of basic dyslexia research.
