Abstract

Dyslexia, a specific learning disability (SLD) characterized by persistent difficulties in accurate and/or fluent word reading, is often misunderstood. This brief resource, written for non-neuroscientists, describes how research in cognitive neuroscience has revealed systematic differences in the reading brain between individuals with and without dyslexia.
