Dyslexia in Different Parts of the World

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080408/ap_on_he_me/dyslexic_differences



Being a bit of a psychology dork, on top of having a great curiosity about reading disabilities, I was intrigued by this article. New research shows that different parts of the brain are impacted in different parts of the world in regards to dyslexia. In places like the US where much of the language is learned through phonics, there is a different part of the brain affected than those learning whole word, like many in China.

Wow, that's a great find. It just goes to show that there is never a single diagnosis for any problem.
