Developmental dyslexia intervention framework for speech therapists

A temporal sampling framework for developmental dyslexia.

Neural coding by brain oscillations is a major focus in neuroscience, with important implications for dyslexia research. Here, I argue that an oscillatory 'temporal sampling' framework enables diverse data from developmental dyslexia to be drawn into an integrated theoretical framework. The core deficit in dyslexia is phonological. Temporal sampling of speech by neuroelectric oscillations that ...

Developmental dyslexia.

T he term developmental dyslexia ("specific reading retardation") refers to an unexpected difficulty in reading in children and adults who otherwise possess the intelligence, motivation, and schooling considered necessary for accurate and fluent reading. The concept has had a chequered career, with debates about its definition, origin, and causes, and indeed about its validity as a distinct ent...

Developmental Dyslexia

The possible causes and correlates of such difficulty have been the focus of a great deal of theorizing since before the turn of the twentieth century, when W. Pringle Morgan (1896) described a 14-year-old boy named Percy who suffered from pronounced difficulty learning to read and spell, despite normal achievement in other academic areas. Because he could find no evidence of definitive brain i...

Are speech perception deficits associated with developmental dyslexia?

Phonological awareness and phoneme identification tasks were administered to dyslexic children and both chronological age (CA) and reading-level (RL) comparison groups. Dyslexic children showed less sharply defined categorical perception of a bath-path continuum varying voice onset time when compared to the CA but not the RL group. The dyslexic children were divided into two subgroups based on ...
