Sound Art
Sound art is an artistic discipline in which sound is utilised as a medium. Like many genres of contemporary art, sound art is interdisciplinary in nature, or takes on hybrid forms. Sound art can engage with subjects such as acoustics, psychoacoustics, electronics, noise music, audio media, found or environmental sound, explorations of the human body, sculpture, film or video and an ever-expanding set of subjects that are part of the current discourse of contemporary art.

Dyslexia
Lindsay Peer CBE, a former Education Director of The British Dyslexia Association (BDA) wrote this definition: Dyslexia is best described as a combination of abilities and difficulties that affect one or more of reading, spelling, writing, speed of processing, short-term memory, sequencing and organisation, auditory and/or visual perception, spoken language and motor skills
Psycholinguistics
Psycholinguistics or psychology of language is the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language.
Language Comprehension
Understanding what other people say and write (i.e., language comprehension) is more complicated than it might at first appear. Comprehending language involves a variety of capacities, skills, processes, knowledge, and dispositions that are used to derive meaning from spoken, written, and signed language.
Phonological Processing
Phonological processing is the ability to see or hear a word, break it down to discrete sounds, and then associate each sound with letter/s that make up the word.
