Combining "timeline" info into sections
A timeline in the main article about dsylexia based on this article was moved in its entirety to this one in February 2012, so that this article now has quite a bit of repeated content.

To get started, I'll begin a straightforward merging of the timeline content into the sections. —Verbistheword (talk) 20:49, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Revising headings and section breaks
Section headers that describe primary milestones will be more meaningful than headers around dates (which are implied by the content within the sections and the order of the sections). Diving into the content in the article will help with this, but it'd be even better if we could be inspired by a secondary source about the history of dyslexia. So far, many of these citations are to the research papers themselves, rather than writing about the history of the research. —Verbistheword (talk) 21:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
