Dr. Boukrina of Kessler Foundation explores treatments for reading deficits after stroke

(Kessler Foundation) 'The Trust's funding has enabled us identify people by type of reading problem, i.e., whether their primary problem is with word appearance, word meaning, or word sounds.' Our goal is to develop criteria for identifying high-risk patients on brain scan while they are hospitalized. Fundamental to effective intervention is early identification of reading problems. 'To identify people early on, we are looking at areas of brain damage associated with aphasia and type of reading difficulties.'
