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. Mon, 22 May 2023 04:00:00 Z
