How The History Of Dyslexia Paved The Way For Our Future | Dr. Philip Kirby

Let’s talk about Dyslexia Pull up a chair for an interesting chat with Dr. Philip Kirby, a lecturer and researcher from King’s College London all about his research on social and historical understandings of specific learning difficulties. We’ll be exploring the history of dyslexia and literacy differences, looking into when it was first identified and how definitions and understandings have shifted over the years until we come to the modern day. We’ll also be deep-diving just how it is that past attitudes that surrounded dyslexia have shaped how we perceive it today, and what this means for the future of dyslexia in the public eye. 0:59 Dr Philip's work on the project 'A History of Dyslexia' 2:20 When was dyslexia first identified? 4:05 Why dyslexia was becoming more spoken about 5:30 What support was available in the early 20th century? 8:08 Perception of dyslexia in different countries 12:48 How the definition of dyslexia has changed throughout the years 14:58 Current changes in the dyslexia landscape & what this means for the future More information on Dr Philip Kirby's work can be found here https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/philip-k...
