The rate of brain growth and development is very rapid in the first three years of life. The size of the brain doubles in the first year and grows to 50 per cent of its adult size by age two, continuing

An example of this was noted by Geshwind and Galaburda in 1985, in a few dyslexic individuals. Failure in the proper migration during fetal development was found in abnormal

Understanding what brain differences exist will help teachers appreciate why certain strategies should be used. For each brain domain, strategies that have
