Dyslexia can be detected early

Dyslexia shows up in brain scans at the age of 4

Dyslexia can now be identified using brain scans before children start school, long before they’re labeled as stupid/ lazy. Although typically diagnosed during the 2nd or 3rdgrade of school, around the age of 7/ 8, a team from Children’s hospital in Boston said brain scans show signs of the disease in children as early as 4. Dyslexics struggle with reading, have poor spellings & experience difficulty decoding words. Early signs include difficulty with rhyming, mispronouncing words or confusing similar sounding words.
