Tuija Aro; Ahmet Bilal Özbek; Minna Torppa – Annals of Dyslexia, 2024
We studied the associations between childhood-identified learning disabilities and adult-age mental health and whether adult-age reading and math skills, coping styles, or resilience influenced the associations. The participants were 159 Finnish adults (60.4% males). Of them, 48 (30%) had a reading disability (RD), 22 (14%) had a math disability…

Shakory, Sharry; Krenca, Klaudia; Marinova-Todd, Stefka H.; Chen, Xi – Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
Extensive research has demonstrated the importance of struggling reader identification in monolingual children Compton et al. ("Journal of Educational Psychology," 102, 327-340, 2010). However, very few studies have explored identification of struggling readers in bilinguals. The aim of this study was to investigate (1) the overlap of…

Verwimp, Cara; Vanden Bempt, Femke; Kellens, Silke; Economou, Maria; Vandermosten, Maaike; Wouters, Jan; Ghesquière, Pol; Vanderauwera, Jolijn – Annals of Dyslexia, 2020
Research demonstrated that a dyslexia diagnosis is mainly given after the most effective time for intervention has passed, referred to as the dyslexia paradox. Although some pre-reading cognitive measures have been found to be strong predictors of early literacy acquisition, i.e., phonological awareness (PA), letter knowledge (LK), and rapid…

Ring, Jeremiah; Black, Jeffrey L. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2018
Research demonstrates that phonological skills provide the basis of reading acquisition and are a primary processing deficit in dyslexia. This consensus has led to the development of effective methods of reading intervention. However, a single phonological deficit is not sufficient to account for the heterogeneity of individuals with dyslexia, and…

Phillips, B. Anne Barber; Odegard, Timothy N. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2017
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that impacts word reading accuracy and/or reading fluency. Over half of the states in the USA have passed legislation intended to promote better identification of individuals with dyslexia. To date, no study has been conducted to investigate the potential impact of state laws on the identification of…

Tamboer, Peter; Vorst, Harrie C. M.; Oort, Frans J. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2014
Methods for identifying dyslexia in adults vary widely between studies. Researchers have to decide how many tests to use, which tests are considered to be the most reliable, and how to determine cut-off scores. The aim of this study was to develop an objective and powerful method for diagnosing dyslexia. We took various methodological measures,…

Tops, Wim; Callens, Maaike; Lammertyn, Jan; Van Hees, Valerie; Brysbaert, Marc – Annals of Dyslexia, 2012
An increasing number of students with dyslexia enter higher education. As a result, there is a growing need for standardized diagnosis. Previous research has suggested that a small number of tests may suffice to reliably assess students with dyslexia, but these studies were based on post hoc discriminant analysis, which tends to overestimate the…
