Dyslexia reflects differences in how the brain processes written language, offering important insight into the neural circuitry required for reading. In this talk, Dr. Brenda Miles explores the reading network in the brain and how these wiring differences make decoding especially challenging for individuals with dyslexia.

Grounded in science but filled with hope, this presentation reveals how understanding the dyslexic brain can lead to powerful breakthroughs for struggling readers.
