Dyslexia in monolingual and bilingual adults

23 January 2018

I am conducting a research project investigating the underlying cognitive causes of dyslexia in different languages. For this I am looking for English monolinguals with a diagnosis of dyslexia, German/English bilinguals (defined as fluent in both), AND German/English bilinguals with a diagnosis of dyslexia. The study is composed of an online questionnaire which can be filled out from home. Then, participants come in for a 20 minute face-to-face session where they will complete four tasks.
