Thu., September 19, 2024, at 6 p.m. On this episode of Health Matters, Pamela Barker, Principal of La. Key Academy's Caddo Parish Campus, shares how one can overcome dyslexia with early identification along with the help of expert trained therapists. These measures can put students on a pathway of elevated self-esteem and alleviate some of the anxieties for youths who struggle to read.
Ms. Barker refers in this episode to the book, Overcoming Dyslexia second edition by Drs. Sally and Jonathan Shaywitz. This book details the longitudinal study by Yale University, Connecticut Longitudinal Study, and the instrumental work of Dr. Laura Cassidy that has resulted in this premier program made possible in our area.
