Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Trouble reading.: Dyslexia results from poor functioning of parts of the brain that specialize in decoding written information. There is no "cure, " and medications are not useful; but, a number of systems exist to help the individual learn to read. Look for information of slingerland, lindamood bell, and other systems that address dyslexia.
