✦ Synopsis

Knowing the prevalence of specific reading would facilitate planning, improve the allocation of resources, and enhance targeted treatment approaches. However, the prevalence of the disorder has not been determined because of a shifting conceptual base, lack of a universallyacceptable operational definition, and the lackof biological markers. Systems for case identification are biased and confounded by age, socioeconomic factors, intelligence, co-morbid conditions, and treatment. Analyses of the failure to determine the prevalence of Specific Reading Disability raise questions about the fundamental assumptions that subsume this diagnosis.

We review the early identification and long-term outcome of children with specific reading disabilities. The current widely held theory is that reading disabilities are language-based. Recent literature suggests that specific aspects of early language development, such as phonological processing, ar

Converging evidence from a number of neuroimaging studies, including our own, suggest that fluent word identification in reading is related to the functional integrity of two consolidated left hemisphere (LH) posterior systems: a dorsal (temporo-parietal) circuit and a ventral (occipitotemporal) cir
