NCBIDA on the Web

Social media has captured our culture over the past decade, proving to be a great way to stay connected and learn from our friends and colleagues with similar interests. NCBIDA has an active Facebook page, with over 500 followers. We post a few times a week, and find it’s a useful way to inform people about upcoming events and noteworthy articles on dyslexia. Every post to Facebook is also tweeted out on Twitter, so both are easy ways to stay informed. If you don’t have time to regularly search for articles on dyslexia, just follow us on Facebook and check out the information we post from a variety of sources. Here is a sampling of some of the most recent articles we’ve posted:
