Our peer-reviewed journal, "Annals of Dyslexia," is mailed annually to members. (View the table of contents from the 2000 issue.) Our subject-related "Perspectives" newsletters are distributed to members quarterly (past topics have included: teacher training, legal issues, parent issues, etc.) (View the article "Social and Emotional Problems Related to Dyslexia" from the Spring 1994 issue of "Perspectives.") Other topic-related publications are available for purchase by the public. (Check out the publications in our Online Store.) "Fact Sheets" are topic-related publications that are free to the public and can be found in the "About Dyslexia - More Infomation" sections of this web site. (View "Dyslexia Basics.") In addition, we fund research on neurological, educational and developmental issues as they relate to dyslexia. We advocate for the rights of individuals with dyslexia both through the legal and Federal legislative systems.
