Clear and sufficient but delayed diagnosis of dyslexia and its consequences: The role of ICTs

Abstract

The present paper deals with the complex phenomenon of dyslexia as a case of learning difficulties, which seems to affect a significant percentage of the student population not only in a Greek, but also in global context. In recent decades, there has been a rapid increase in dyslexia diagnoses among students of all ages and in a broad socio-cultural context. In order for the diagnosis of dyslexia to be feasible, the collaboration of multiple entities is necessary. These entities, in cooperation with local governmental bodies, issue the diagnosis, which is accompanied by a detailed description of the strengths and weaknesses of each student. This information is then provided to educators who work with the particular student.
