For a few years now there has
been almost an orthodox view that reading difficulties, such as Dyslexia are a
consequence of what is referred to as a Phonological processing
difficulty.
That there is a visual component
has been sort of accepted but ignored by many researchers.
Work by Sylviane Valdois and
others has strongly reignited the discussion finally demonstrating that it is
possible to test out the role of visual processing independent of phonological
contribution.
2014 promises to be a fascinating
year in the dyslexia story. Watch this space!
