Dyslexia is a reading disability in which speed and accuracy in
word decoding is impaired. It is usually accompanied by spelling
and/or arithmetic difficulties. This book discusses the
perspectives, challenges and treatment options available for
dyslexia. Chapter One reviews dyslexia from its definition and
neurobiological basis to the neurophysiology and central auditory
processes. Chapter Two examines how dyslexia affects perception of
academic performance in elementary school pupils and how it affects
their sociometric position in the classroom. Chapter Three reviews
dyslexia from an educological perspective. Chapter Four
investigates the views of parents of pupils with dyslexia
concerning their collaboration with teachers. Chapter Five
describes and compares the response of parents and teachers of
Brazilian and Italian Dyslexics students about learning skills.
Chapter Six outlines the key findings from the Dyslexia and
Multilingualism project (Mortimore et al, 2012) focusing on the
challenges and lessons learnt from a research project on a literacy
intervention for vulnerable learners with English as an additional
language in English primary schools. It also focuses on issues
relating to screening processes and assessments used for
identifying SpLD/dyslexia within complex multilingual schools.
Chapter Seven investigates whether Brazilian students with
developmental dyslexia could be classified according with subtypes.

the future of dyslexia. Chapter Nine examines complexities and
challenges of selecting participants for dyslexia studies. Chapter
