Hmmm. I'n not sure who I'm writing to, but no matter.

The dual route stuff ties in with Wolf and timing.  Wolf expands into orthography.

Rastle, Coltheart and Cestnick are the researchers, here--English, Australian, and Canadian.  I have a tape of Laurie Cestnick from a Learning and the Brain Conference last fall, it has some good information on it but I've had to go over it pretty diligently to get out what I've got. I met with Laurie a couple of weeks ago. She is a neuroscientist.I heard another guy talk about dual route this winter. 

I've asked Laurie for some more references, and she will get them for me, I'll pass them on.  We really have to integrate vision back into the LD stuff. I've often wondered where it went, now I know--off shore.

I bought the tape from the conference, it helped me a lot. A couple of final chapters of "Dyslexia, Fluency and the Brain" are useful, it seems to me. It sounds like you have it.

Ask me privately about getting the tape.

Andrea
