Learning to excel
Growing up in Armagh during The Troubles was not a time for lofty ambitions. You left school, you got a job. And that’s how it was for Lucia McKeever. But then, with encouragement from her trade union, her horizons started to widen considerably. Lucia rose through the ranks of first COHSE, then UNISON, before serving as UNISON president from 2014 to 2015 – the first Northern Irish member to hold that office. Now, as she prepares to step down from the union’s National Executive Council (NEC), she wants to encourage others to take the same journey. “I left school at 16. I hadn’t even a spirit level, never mind an O...

Reading to teach and heal: More books for 8-12 year olds
The holiday season is a time to reflect, find gratitude and show kindness, especially to those who may be struggling. It’s also a great time to escape the chaos and hunker down with a good book. Why not do both? Today, there are more and more books about children and teens coping with physical and mental health issues that help young readers empathize with these characters but also relate, especially if they’re faced with a similar condition. We’ve selected five books that will not only make great gifts for the kids on your list, but also will stay with them long after those holiday decorations are put away. Sw...

Take Flight: the evolution of an Orton Gillingham-based curriculum.
Abstract Thirty years ago in this journal, Aylett Royall Cox reported on the development of Alphabetic Phonics, a revision of the existing Orton Gillingham treatment for children with dyslexia. This paper continues that discussion and reports on the evolution of that curriculum as it is represented in a comprehensive dyslexia treatment program informed by intervention research. The paper describes the curriculum and reports data from a hospital-based learning disabilities clinic that provides qualified support for treatment efficacy and the value of added comprehension instruction.

‘Don’t let dyslexia hold you back’
In kindergarten, while other students were beginning to read books, Josh Thibeau was still learning the alphabet. “I thought, I can’t read so why even try. I thought it was a waste of time.” Five to 17 percent of all children in the U.S. have developmental dyslexia. Josh is one of them. Children with dyslexia — often caused by some difference in normal brain development and damage to the brain — have trouble with comprehension because they can’t read text accurately or fluently. Josh, now 14, has four other siblings, three of whom also have dyslexia. “We are very fortunate because if Josh had been a first chi...

Perspectives Beryl Benacerraf: new AIUM President gets the picture
When your father is a Nobel laureate (immunologist Baruj Benacerraf) and your mother's uncle is another (biologist Jacques Monod), it's hardly surprising that your career thoughts should turn to the life sciences and medicine. But when it emerges that your childhood difficulty in reading is persisting into adult life, you might begin to doubt the feasibility of your ambitions. “I had a significant dyslexia problem”, says Beryl Benacerraf, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Reproductive Biology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA, USA, and also Professor of Radiology there.

This 2-Minute Test Helps Parents Easily Figure Out If A Child Has A Concussion
A quick and simple test can identify concussions in children as young as 5 with an astonishing rate of success, according to a new study. So why aren’t people talking about it more? The King-Devick test, as it’s called, was originally developed in the 1970s as a way to detect dyslexia. But a new study out of New York University's Langone Concussion Center and published in the Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology has found convincing evidence that it can also detect when athletes of all ages suffer a concussion -- and that it can do so even better than other commonly used tests. What’s most notable about the King-Devick ...
