making it the most commonly identified learning issue according to the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity. In Canada, between 15 and 20 percent of the population has dyslexia, says The Reading Clinic in Ontario. In spite of its prevalence, dyslexia is still widely misunderstood. ...
compared to an age- and education-matched control group without dyslexia, will take longer to read each text and show slower visual processing speed that is in turn linked to one’s reading duration. Reading texts in the dyslexia-friendly font OpenDyslexic is not expected to result in increased...
Whereas some studies have shown that individuals with dyslexia experience higher rates of anxiety, depression and/or learned helplessness (e.g., Goldston et al., 2007; Heiervang et al., 2001; Ihbour et al., 2021), others have reported no significant effect of dyslexia on the prevalence of...
Such a prevalence lies at the lower end of the range typically reported in the US population3 and might represent the more severe cases of dyslexia given that a formal diagnosis was required; additionally, people with dyslexia might opt out of survey research that requires reading, further ...
An ancillary question addressed was the prevalence of reading deficits in children with SLI. Phonological awareness deficits were observed in both groups, though overall they were more severe in children with dyslexia compared to children with SLI. Phonological STM deficits were observed in both groups...
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between a history of dyslexia and childhood physical abuse in a large population-based epidemiological sample. It was hypothesized that the prevalence of dyslexia would be significantly higher in individuals who reported a childhood history ...
These factors have increased the prevalence of work- ers with one or a combination of these variants in recent decades [9] and have originated the concept of neuro- diversity in the workforce. Advocates of neurodiversity promote a shift from complaints toward strengths [6] and assert that ...

With a prevalence of ~5% in Germany, it is one of the most common learning impairments for young school children2. Twin studies estimated the heritability of dyslexia at 50–70%3. The underlying genet- ics is complex and appears to consist of a large number of factors with rather small ...
It is difficult to estimate prevalence rates for dyslexia as many children remain unidentified. Nevertheless, it is generally believed that 5–10% of children experience severe and persistent word reading difficulties consistent with dyslexia; a figure which equates to approximately 2–4 children in ...
