Dyslexia Awareness Month Proclamation: September 24, 2013 at Gabrieli Lab MIT

DD-MA was very excited to bring the Governor's recent proclamation to MIT!
Exciting research is being done that demonstrates the biological/neurological indicators of dyslexia with MRI imaging.

Thank you to Dr. Gabrieli, Dr. Gaab and Dr. Norton and their Assistants for welcoming us, for interest in Dyslexia Awareness and for the work you are doing!!

Please see more on this fascinating and important research, including a video at
