The Dyslexia Research Trust was set up by Professor John Stein
and Dr Sue Fowler at Oxford
University to fund cutting edge interdisciplinary research
into dyslexia and other related conditions and to support free clinics
to assess and assist people with these conditions.
We exist to
support research into dyslexia and related conditions, to make our
findings available to the widest possible audience and to help people
conquer their dyslexic problems. Our work has already led to
significant breakthroughs concerning:
• The roles
of basic visual and auditory processing in learning to read
• Development of new diagnostic tests and highly effective visual
treatments
• Nutritional factors in dyslexia and related conditions, by carrying
out carefully randomised controlled trials of omega-3 (‘fish oil’)
supplements
• Genetic factors that may contribute to dyslexia and related
conditions.
