Developmental dyslexia in adults : a research review

Abstract

The Skills for Life strategy is committed to addressing the needs of learners with learning difficulties such as developmental dyslexia.The term 'dyslexia' is problematic: there are many definitions, with varying degrees of overlap.For the purposes of this review, 'dyslexia' has been interpreted widely, to embrace most if not all of the ways in which the term has been used by scientists and educationalists.This is a research review.It was undertaken to establish the evidence base for developmental dyslexia in adults.It began by searching electronic data bases, exploring library holdings, and following citation trails.This process identified a large number of potentially relevant book chapters and papers published in peer-reviewed journals, which were then read critically.
