In this episode of Dyslexia Discussions More , hosts Stephen Yearout and Sheridan Conway take a personal approach to discussing dyslexia by reflecting on their own experiences with the condition. They will explore what dyslexia awareness truly means, how it has impacted their lives, and whether increased awareness has brought about real change. The conversation will also focus on how we can shift the narrative from simply raising awareness about dyslexia to empowering individuals with effective, evidence-based interventions. • • RESEARCH plays a key role in helping empower more individuals with Dyslexia to their full potential. For example, the three different NICHD funded, Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) research studies published by Dr. Tim Conway and his senior colleagues in peer-reviewed research journals (ie, Torgesen et al, 2001; Torgesen, Alexander et al, 2001; Torgesen et al, 1999; and other case studies like Conway, et al, 1998) are key parts of the Science of Reading research. For example, the Torgesen…..Conway (2001) RCT research study proved that the NOW! Foundations for Speech, Language, Reading Spelling® program empowered reading skills from the 5th to the 45th percentile—an extraordinary mean gain for a large group of students with Severe Dyslexia (reading at or below the 5th percentile). These research and other research studies continue to shape the future of even stronger dyslexia empowerment. • For more information about the 20+ years of peer-reviewed, published research that Dr Tim Conway and his colleague published in professional research journals before branding that large, high caliber body of research as the NOW!
