Welcome to WikiProject Dyslexia. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of dyslexia and the organization of information and articles on this and related topics. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

The WikiProject Dyslexia is officially a child project of WikiProject Education. The project concerns writing new and improving existing articles about dyslexia and its many related topics.

This project was created to assist several editors in coordinating the work involved in breaking up the dyslexia article into a series of articles using the Wikipedia:Summary style. However, it is expected that the project will extend beyond that particular series of articles.

Related Conditions[edit]

As the project template appears on many of these articles, so we need to regularly check the changes made in this article which may also relate to specifically to dyslexia.

• Dysgraphia
• Scotopic sensitivity syndrome

• Category:Developmental dyslexia
• Category:Dyslexia
• Category:Dyslexia support by country
• Category:Dyslexia research
• Category:Theories of dyslexia
• Category:Dyslexia researchers
• Category:Dyslexia in fiction

• Re-structure the whole Alexia series of article to reflect the last decades research
• Break up the existing dyslexia article into a coherent series of articles. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia/Proposed organization for the current proposal. Mostly done during 2009
• Develop links with all of the related issues: medical, education, legal, support provision etc.
• ?

• Disability discrimination
• Disability rights
• Language acquisition
• Notation
• Orthography
• Reading
• Reading Disabilities
• Special Educational Needs (SEN)

These are issues for discussion on which we need to come to consensus. Discuss on the talk page.

• Characteristics section lacks sources
• Suggestion to merge Irlen syndrome with Irlen filters and removed from main article (presumably with a summary-type reference?)
• Consider how to handle links to commercial products. Come to consensus on how to handle proposal to delete several external links:
  • Dyslexia International - Tools and Technologies (DITT)
• Missing a key intervention: "special education"
• Concern about US bias in article overall.
• Suggestion to keep WHO definition in main article and provide other nation and organization specific definitions in secondary article.
• Address legal issues; educational support issues
