- Summary:
- Although the dominant view of dyslexia is that it is caused by linguistic/phonological weakness, recent research has shown that it is associated with visual processing problems as well. This book brings together research from neurology, neuroscience, and the vision sciences to present a cutting edge review of this topic.
