Disorders is named for Dr. Luke Waites, who in 1965 established a
program at TSRHC to identify and treat children with learning
disorders, primarily dyslexia. The World Federation of Neurology met
at TSRHC in 1968 and formulated the first consensus definition of
developmental dyslexia. TSRHC’s Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia is
now internationally recognized in the field of learning disorders.
