Debating the Delphi View of Dyslexia: A Response to Metsala, Morsanyi and Colleagues
Several commentators have discussed the consensus view of dyslexia that emerged from a Delphi survey reported by Carroll, Holden and colleagues. Here the authors respond to the commentaries, agreeing that different definitions of dyslexia may be required for different purposes. Using data from the original study, definitions are proposed for the use of researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
