Liz Ditz, who dables in lots of interests (one of which is Learning Disabilities, thank goodness), picked up a story about the costs of dyslexia to society, at least in the form of government services. You can read her treatment of the topic on her blog at this link.

Over on I Speak of Dreams, Liz Ditz covered a story about a boy in Hawai’i whose parents persisted in seeking and got services for him. From the story, it appears that the boy’s reading problems have been remedied and his spelling is improving, at least according to a private tutor’s assessment. (Sadly, someone—the tutor?—fed the reporter the usual bologna about reversals.)
The coverage by Ms. Ditz emphasizes the important idea that the L in LD does not stand for “lazy.”
