Description
Developmental dyslexia has been a subject of interest to practitioners for more than a century. Despite its long research history however, dyslexia (the terms "specific reading disability", reading disability" and "learning disability" are also used interchangeably in this volume) still provides a challenge for contemporary cognitive psychology, education, neurology and physiology. By bringing together contributions from researchers and scholars working in a wide range of fields and perspectives, this volume offers a means of considering different facets of dyslexia and should enable a greater understanding of reading disorders and their remediation to emerge. The book is divided into eight major sections, the focus in each section being on a different facet of dyslexia. This framework should enable the reader to assimilate the wide range of pure and applied research and give rise to a new perspective for the understanding of dyslexia.
