Project Details
Description
Funded by the State of Upper Austria and the Ministry of Education, Science & Research, the Institute pf Integrated Studies, the Institute of Sociology, and the Research Institute of Developmental Medicine have come together to create the JKU Dyslexia Lab. The project aims to survey, assess, research, derive, and establish suitable concepts to support efficient services as well as the JKU's infrastructure to assist JKU students and employees affected by dyslexia (meaning difficulties to read and write - RWD). To this end, we would need a sufficient number of interested participants to take part in the project.
