Old Brain, New Tricks New Study Proves Adults with Dyslexia Can Learn to Read

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA - Results from a new study prove that adults with dyslexia are capable of responding to phonologically and orthographically based reading. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in the U.S., accounting for 80% of all learning disabilities and affecting 5% to 17% of the population. While it has been a common assumption amongst educators and researchers that adults with dyslexia cannot benefit from instruction, a recent study performed by scientists at Wake Forest and Georgetown Universities show otherwise. Testing a group of nine adults with dyslexia, the five-year study explored the differences in brain activity during a phonological manipulation task before and after the Lindamood-Bell® reading programs were administered. The instruction resulted in performance improvements for adult dyslexics, and these gains were associated with increases in those areas of the brain classically associated with reading. “These findings are truly significant in showing that treatment can work for adults with developmental dyslexia,” states Dr. Lynn Flowers, principal investigator for the study. “This will help us develop more specialized interventions for adults and provide hope to people who had none.” One such adult is Dee Register, a 38-year old woman who has struggled to read all her life. “I had to be told how to do things at my job over and over,” says Dee. “People made me feel stupid. But now I understand that I’m not dumb.” Since her involvement in the study, Dee has enrolled in college. Though she still struggles, she is determined to succeed. “It’s still hard sometimes,” says Dee, “but now I have the tools to learn my own way.” “Through this study, people who have struggled with dyslexia their entire life are finally making breakthroughs,” says Nanci Bell, Director and co-founder of Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. “It’s exciting to be able to make a difference in these people’s lives.” Click on the link below for more information on this Wake Forest study.
