Development of a New Definition of Dyslexia

Development of a new definition of dyslexia

After more than a year of research, two papers summarising the findings of a Delphi study into the definition of dyslexia have now been published in draft format on the Open Science Framework. You can access the papers here.

The Delphi dyslexia study papers are still being reviewed as part of the academic research process and it is possible that changes may be made. In light of this, the British Dyslexia Association is monitoring the progress of this review and will ensure that their members and affiliated organisations have access to the latest information. They will also share further guidance from the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee (SASC) when it is published. We will keep you updated as soon as we know more.
