While offering intervention strategies in grades 1 through 3 can drastically improve the trajectory of a student’s education, the window for effective intervention is narrow. That makes early and accurate screening key. Now, researchers are discovering clues in our genes that could speed early assessment of the risk of dyslexia.

However, even with these recent calls to action, limited attention has been directed to inequities in the research methods and analytic approaches we use. The very process of science, including how we recruit, the methodologies we utilize and the analyses we conduct, can have marked downstream effects on the equity and generalizability of scientific discoveries across the global population.
