Dyslexia and Development presents the latest findings of
neurobiological research, which suggest a link between seemingly
minor brain abnormalities and epilepsy, learning disorders, and
autism. The authors focus on the plasticity of the developing
nervous system and the possible role of subtle early brain injury
in the emergence of these disorders, particularly dyslexia. The
distinguished contributors to this volume examine epidemiological
and clinical issues that may make the developing brain more
vulnerable to environmental and genetic influences, which can in
turn lead to abnormal brain plasticity and behavior. Although major
forms of brain malformation have been clearly associated with
functional deficits, mild forms have historically been ignored or
trivialized; this book supports the hypothesis that several types
of such malformation reflect brain injury during critical stages of
development, and also the premise that more and more disturbances
of thought and behavior stem from abnormalities of brain
organization. Neurologists and neurobiologists, psychologists,
psycholinguists, psychiatrists, and special educators will find
here a guide to more enlightened understanding and more effective
treatment of dyslexia. In fact, the book emphasizes the positive
aspect of the neurobiological deviation that dyslexic brains seem
to show, along with the observation that people with such brains
are often quite creative and extraordinary, rather than
handicapped. In turn, the revised consideration of dyslexia should
lead to more serious attention to other disturbances of childhood
behavior as problems in developmental neurology, as well as to a
deeper analysis of possible neurological bases for individual
differences in normal behavior and personality.
