Smart but feeling dumb the challenging new research on dyslexia - and how it may help you /

Synopsis

Millions of Americans know the pain, frustration, and sense of inferiority caused by the learning disability known as dyslexia-characterized by reading, writing, and spelling reversals. Dr. Harold N. Levinson's more than 20 years of research resulted in discoveries that offer new hope to those with dyslexia. Now research clearly demonstrates that dyslexia could be acquired as a result of ear infections and other common syndromes; that dyslexia might be associated with a wide range of serious disorders such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and deafness; that the hidden dyslexic component of these disorders could be effectively treated; and that most phobias and many so-called mental, emotional, and psychosomatic disturbances are caused by the same physical disturbance underlying dyslexia. This new edition is updated to include expanded research that Dr. Levinson has undertaken over the last eight years.
