3D Learner Dyslexia Parent Blog

http://www.3dlearner.com/beat-dyslexia-parent-blog-right-brained-learners-adhd-child-behavior-problems/

The 3D Learner program was developed by the Halpert family after direct experience with dyslexia and learning disabilities within their family. Their focus is on right-brained learners who learn best experentially. The blog has interesting information on dyslexia, co-existing conditions with dyslexia and the various programs that claim to help dyslexics. While they are obviously trying to sell their program and services, the blog and website have some useful and interesting information.
