ONE of the world's top experts on dyslexia is lecturing in Bexley.

Professor Uta Frith, from University College London will be delivering the Marjorie Lishman memorial lecture at the Holiday Inn, Southwold Road, Bexley, tonight.

The annual lecture, named after a Bexley teacher, is organised by the Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Special Learning Difficulties.

Because of Professor Frith's reputation as an expert on dyslexia, Asperger's syndrome, autism and other learning difficulties, this year's lecture has been a sell-out. She will be comparing the current theories on dyslexia.
