Dyslexia More Likely with A History of Physical Abuse

Former Member 7/9/1411:00 AM

The prevalence of dyslexia seems to be higher in individuals with a history of childhood physical abuse, according to a study published online June 30 in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence.

Esme Fuller-Thomson, Ph.D., from the University of Toronto, and Stephen R. Hooper, Ph.D., from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, examined the correlation between a history of dyslexia and childhood physical abuse. They conducted a secondary analysis of data from 13,054 respondents, aged 18 years and older, from the Saskatchewan and Manitoba sample of the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey.
