One of my kids, who is dyslexic and he lets me talk about it, went up there and talked about a moment that was extremely important to him and I had no idea what he was going to say. He was in the 4th grade and not writing well and he wrote this sentence that says, 'I can do this.' And it was his first sentence. And that's really late to be writing your first sentence as any parent with a kid with dyslexia knows.

In 2024, my niece Caroline received a Ph.D. in gravitational-wave physics. Her research interests include "the impact of model inaccuracies on biases in parameters recovered from gravitational wave data" and "Petrov type, principal null directions, and Killing tensors of slowly rotating black holes in quadratic gravity." I watched a little of her dissertation defense, on Zoom, and was lost as soon as she'd finished introducing herself. She and her husband now live in Italy, where she has a postdoctoral appointment.

"If you are massively dyslexic, you cannot play a playbook," Karp said at the New York Times DealBook Summit. "There is no playbook a dyslexic can master. And therefore we learn to think freely."

Gajilan, who has worked at Reuters for more than 14 years and was then digital news director, had been reading about artificial intelligence and custom GPTstailored AI models that users could configure for specific tasks. After confirming her data would be private, she fed one of the models Tobey's report cards, neuropsychological evaluations and individualized education programs for his dyslexia. She also gave it his interests: dragons from the book series Wings of Fire, battles with Nerf guns, a song or two from Hamilton.

Most healthy people have no issues telling left from right, but for some people (about 15 percent), left-right confusion is a somewhat common experience in their everyday lives. Common situations in which people confuse left and right every now and then include giving instructions about directions to somebody else who is driving a car, moving the wrong foot during dancing, or taking the wrong direction when hiking.

I never thought I'd write a piece criticising Taylor Swift. I've been a devoted fan since becoming enraptured by her Eras Tour movie. And while my musical tastes normally veer towards post-rock, punk and metal, her pandemic opuses Evermore and Folklore reached parts of my heart I never knew pop could touch. So I genuinely believed Taylor could do no wrong. But unfortunately, her latest website is a masterclass in how not to design for inclusion.

Traditional classrooms, with their rigid pace and one-size-fits-all lessons, left Aarav frustrated and feeling left behind. But everything changed when his parents introduced him to special education technology designed for children like him. With text-to-speech apps and interactive reading games, Aarav began to read with confidence, and for the first time, learning felt possible. Stories like Aarav's highlight why students with unique learning needs deserve more than what conventional systems can provide.

Reformed hellraiser Shaun Ryder has revealed the childhood trauma behind his life of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.

For individuals with dyslexia, the path to developing a love of reading often requires a different approach and a great deal of patience.
