The speakers were varied and discussed a broad range of learning differences. There was also an opportunity to meet new people who are experts in their field and ask them questions. The venue was beautiful\, and I was enthusiastic at the end of the day to go home and research what I had learnt.

I will be coming to the 2025 Dyslexia Hub Day for sure.†\n\n“I’d like to thank you both for a wonderful event on Friday.

The revised and expanded three-volume edition (edited by Adriano Aymonino and Eloisa Dodero)\, substantially updates the scholarship with research from recent decades. This two-day conference aims to assess the current state of research\, rethink established methodologies and explore possible future directions in the field. Its primary goal is to foster discussion among different generations of scholars whose research outputs are often separated by language and methodological barriers. \nThe conference is organised by Adriano Aymonino and Kathleen Christian. \n\nCall for Papers\nWe invite proposals for twenty-minute papers.\nDeadline: 15 May 2025 \nFind out more about the Call for Papers.
