Dyslexia: A Wider View. The Contribution of an Ecological Paradigm to Current Issues.
Poole, Jennifer
Educational Research, v45 n2 p167-80 Sum 2003
Dyslexia issues such as its existence, definition, and medical versus educational construction have been framed by the scientific paradigm. Reframing using an ecological perspective allows assessment focused on whole-school approaches and sociocultural factors. It also enables the use of predictive research and a view of dyslexia as more than a purely educational problem. (Contains 60 references.) (SK)
