The current study provides an updated review of enacted dyslexia laws that includes specific implementation requirements for each state. Except Hawaii, all states and the District of Columbia now have a dyslexia law, and 41 states include a codified definition of dyslexia. Thirty-four state definitions specify that dyslexia is neurobiological in…

The International Dyslexia Association's current definition of dyslexia was approved by its Board of Directors on November 12, 2002. After two decades of scientific inquiry into the nature of dyslexia, it is time to reconsider and potentially revise the definition in light of what has been learned. We propose a definition of dyslexia based on its…

While dyslexia is often considered a uniformly persistent condition, research has identified two additional developmental pathways: resolving and late-emerging dyslexia. Yet, most studies have focused on Western languages, and only a few have examined kindergarten predictors of these pathways, with morphological awareness largely overlooked. This…

Purpose: This study used survey methodology to explore the attitudes about and knowledge of dyslexia among primary and secondary school educators (general education teachers, education specialists, and administrators). Method: The Dyslexia Belief Index survey was adapted and distributed by e-mail to 380 administrators and 5,173 other individuals…

Dyslexia is a neurobiological disorder characterized by persistent difficulties in reading, writing and spelling. Studying adults with dyslexia is challenging due to diverse experiences, varying ages of diagnosis and potential comorbidities. This study utilized a mixed-method approach to explore how the timing and occurrence of a dyslexia…

Early identification plays a crucial role in providing timely support to students with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, in order to overcome their reading difficulties. However, there is significant variability in the methods used for identifying dyslexia. This study aimed to explore and understand the practices of dyslexia identification…

This paper provided new theoretical insight into the pertinent benefits and limitations of applying the UK Equality Act (2010) in relation to dyslexia. The analysis captures a dichotomy in framing and interpreting dyslexia. Moreover, if dyslexia is conceptualised as a disability, access to legal protection, reasonable adjustments, and educational…

Purpose: This study proposes the Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) design guideline to support learning to read and spell for children with dyslexia. Design/methodology/approach: Seven experts with backgrounds in human-computer interaction, art and design verified the TUIs design guideline and provided feedback on the proposed design guideline of…

University students with dyslexia have greater anxiety than their peers without dyslexia, especially related to their academic studies. Most universities focus on mitigating the learning needs of these students, for example, providing more time during exams. Relatively little attention is paid to the psychological impact of having dyslexia. In…

Replicability has become a heated issue in empirical science. In interdisciplinary fields, such as dyslexia research, replications are deemed challenging due to the linguistic, cognitive, and contextual complexity of literacy. We discuss whether dyslexia research faces a replicability crisis and the implications of replicability issues for…

Dyslexia is a learning difference marked by challenges in acquiring literacy skills, but its effects reach far beyond reading and comprehension. It can influence students' social skills, classroom behavior, and self-esteem. In this Spotlight, we explore the importance of social-emotional support and resilience, the effectiveness of early…

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that hinders reading, spelling, and writing abilities, creating challenges for academic success and necessitating early screening for timely intervention. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of global research on dyslexia screening from 2000 to 2023, using VOSviewer version 1.6.19 to analyze 839…

The emotional aspect of dyslexia has recently received more attention. A growing body of literature highlights the links between dyslexia and self-perception (such as self-esteem and self-efficacy) and psychopathology (such as anxiety). However, there is no research on self-compassion in adults with dyslexia. The current study aimed to examine the…

The purpose of the present research was to measure teachers' knowledge about dyslexia in mainstream schools of Akmola region in Kazakhstan and to analyse if there is any relationship between teachers' knowledge of dyslexia and their training experiences. The data was collected via an online survey with the use of the Scale of Knowledge and Beliefs…

The left-hemisphere language cortex is known to be structurally aberrant in developmental dyslexia (also referred to as reading disability, RD). However, studies have not addressed the neuroanatomical bases of dyslexia in bilinguals, even though bilingualism is common, and the bilingual experience is thought to alter the language cortex. This…
