Abstract
In this paper I shall attempt to describe what has been and is meant by the terms "dyslexia," "specific dyslexia" and "developmental dyslexia"; common terms, which have become confusing because authors have used them in so many different ways. I shall discuss a number of clinical syndromes involving serious difficulties in learning to read and write in apparently healthy children of average intelligence which have been described in the literature. Some relevant work concerned with difficulties in learning to read and write carried out in the Department of Child Life and Health in the University of Edinburgh will be described.
