These are links to some of the news stories about dyslexia that were published for the second annual Dyslexia Awareness Month, October 2006. It appears to me that the Alabama chapter of the International Dyslexia Association got the most coverage. Congrats to them.

Liza, thanks for adding to the list and for promoting awareness of Learning Disabilities. Your article is a good one. It avoids many of the pitfalls that ensnare lots of articles about dyslexia.
