The Delphi Definition
The Delphi Definition was created by bringing together a large group of
international experts who voted until they reached agreement on what
dyslexia is. It defines dyslexia as processing difficulties that affect reading and spelling, often linked to phonological skills, working memory, and processing speed.
If you would like to read the paper associated with the Delphi Definition, it can be found on the link below:
