YALE · Overcoming Dyslexia · LECTURE 16

This installment of Yale's Overcoming Dyslexia course looks at practical screening for dyslexia, using California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has spoken publicly about his own dyslexia, as a reference point for how the condition shows up and gets identified. The lesson walks through what a screening actually checks for: phonological processing, letter-sound mapping, and reading fluency gaps that distinguish dyslexia from general reading difficulty. It covers the tools and observations educators and clinicians use to flag a child or adult for further evaluation, and why early screening changes outcomes. As a short segment within a longer Yale course, it assumes some grounding in the neuroscience and history covered in earlier lessons, but stands on its own as a concrete guide to spotting dyslexia's warning signs in real people rather than textbook cases.
