Can You Detect Dyslexia Early in Infants?

Why read me: 

Have you ever wondered if dyslexia can be spotted before a child learns to read? Science is making incredible discoveries, and recent research reveals fascinating patterns in baby brains that might predict dyslexia risk.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply curious about how our brains develop, this recent study offers insights on earlier support and better outcomes.

Tip Box:

This research isn’t about “fixing” anything⎯it’s about understanding and supporting diverse learning approaches earlier in life. If dyslexia runs in your family, focus on supplementing your child’s early language environment while staying optimistic about their strengths.

Paris Hilton and her ADHD Journey

Paris Hilton has worn many hats: socialite, entrepreneur, model, and now a dedicated ADHD advocate. Why? She was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult! This diagnosis brought clarity to her childhood struggles, like difficulties focusing in school and feeling out of place in traditional learning environments.

Learning about her ADHD was transformative for Paris. It allowed her to implement tools and strategies that have helped her succeed. She took on routines, broke tasks into smaller steps, and leaned on supportive teams who understood her needs. Most importantly, she changed her perspective by not seeing ADHD as a challenge but as her superpower.

✨ Paris Hilton: ADHD Advocate ✨ 

• Paris has used her ADHD to fuel her creativity and resilience, qualities she credits with helping her build her media empire, 11:11 Media, and spot trends before others.

• She is passionate about breaking the stigma around neurodivergence, partnering with organizations like Understood.org to provide resources for women and children with ADHD.

• Beyond advocacy, her music amplifies her message. Her song “ADHD” celebrates embracing differences and turning challenges into strengths.

Paris hopes her story will inspire others to view ADHD as a unique strength, reminding them, “You are not defined by your diagnosis—ADHD unlocks new possibilities.”
