Detecting Dyslexia at 2 Months Old?
Can dyslexia be babies in children as young as two months old? This is the suggestion of a new study published in NeuroReport . Babies with a genetic risk of genetic (presumably parents or siblings had dyslexia) plus a control group where tested to see how they responded to two phonetic sounds.
“[The absense of a response] in the infants at risk supports the hypothesis of basic auditory (temporal) processing impairments in the disorder. The results suggest that these early signs of deficient auditory processing may point to problematic categorical perception at a later age“.
Mismatch response is absent in 2-month-old infants at risk for dyslexia.

Dr. McGrew, you were quoted in a recent training I took regarding research conducted using a Synchronized Metronome procedures on school age children. Could you forward to me a synopsis of your study. My school would like to incorporate this process into our classrooms in order to raise test scores. Thanks,

I think you wanted to post this comment on Kevin McGrew’s Intelligence Testing blog [ http://intelligencetesting.blogspot.com/ ]. A handy link to the research you are seeking can be found here [ http://www.myomancy.com/2005/11/interactive_met_1.html ].
