What is the difference between a learning disability, a reading disorder, and dyslexia?

 

Get answers to this question and more in The Neuropsychology of Reading Disorders: A Compendium of Research-Based Interventions.

Reading disorders are the most common type of learning disability among children—some estimates indicate that as many as 40 million Americans may have dyslexia. Children in high-poverty schools or who are members of language-minority populations may be especially at risk.

This book delves into the neural underpinnings of reading disorders and dyslexia in children and adolescents. It addresses literacy development through use of appropriate assessment measures, the development of screening procedures, and the use of research-based interventions for struggling learners. With chapters contributed by a variety of experts, the book addresses questions such as:

  • What is the difference between a learning disability, a reading disorder, and dyslexia?
  • What are the specific brain regions involved in accurate and fluent reading skills?
  • What are the four main subtypes of reading disorders that children typically encounter?
  • Why do second-language learners and children in poverty struggle with reading?
  • What is the difference between evidenced-based and research-based intervention?
