Using excerpts:
We strongly encourage Facilitators to develop their own, personalized text rather than merely copying content from the www.dyslexia.com site; a good alternative is to include a brief excerpt or summary and then a link to articles of interest on the Davis sites.
You may use up to 200 words or 3 paragraphs of text from an article or single web page without prior permission, provided you include full attribution and a hyperlink to any article that is available online.
However, you must always seek permission before reusing an image, unless the image is reduced to thumbnail size (no more than 150px in width or height) and used in connection with a link to the original source.
Using links:
You are free to simply link to any public webpage on a Davis site as long as the link is clearly labeled, so that the user will understand where it leads. For more information, see: Linking to Articles on DDAI site.
Translations:
You may also freely translate the articles listed above into the language used on your website, or seek permission for use of other articles as described above. Translated articles should include the same copyright attribution and links, but you may include the name of the translator (translated by ________) and specify that the link goes to the original English version if you choose.
Videos:
You may link to or embed any of the videos posted at the DDAI YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/user/DavisDyslexia/videos
The “Extraordinary Minds” video is also available on Vimeo, with this link: https://vimeo.com/560215345
Online Dyslexia Test:
You may link to the home page for the online screening assessment at https://www.testdyslexia.com – however, facilitators are not allowed to embed the test in a frame on their own website or to copy or reproduce the questions from that test on their own site.
