Does dyslexia really exist?
In the past, dyslexia has sometimes been referred to as something that was made up by the middle classes to explain why their children were unsuccessful at school. However, there is now a wide body of clinical and academic knowledge which confirms that dyslexia is indeed a real phenomenon. The problem now lies in defining the limits of dyslexia and it is becoming increasingly obvious that the term dyslexia covers a number of different learning difficulties.
