The writer asks an interesting question. What implications could this have for our work with adults that have dyslexia? Rochelle Kenyon Moderator, NIFL-Learning Disabilities Discussion List _RKenyon721@AOL.com_ (mailto:RKenyon721@AOL.com) BBC News (UK) Researchers at Cardiff University have discovered a gene which they believe is likely to be one of the causes of dyslexia in children. _http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/4313937.stm_ (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/4313937.stm) Looks valid. I wonder if this will have any implications for our work? Thoughts? BTW, if you want to see what Reading Rockets is: "Reading Rockets is a national educational service of WETA, the flagship public television and radio station in the nation's capital. The project is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs.
