Abstract
Within the past decade significant advances have been made in articulating the unique neuropsychological and cognitive processes in dyslexic children. The brain mapping procedures and postmortum studies are especially important in this regard. However, two important issues remain largely unaddressed. First, to date, no recognized nosology for dyslexia or subtypes of dyslexia exist. Second, the functional neurolinguistic system involved in reading and severe reading failure is, as of yet, still not completely understood in regard to subtypes of dyslexia. This article discusses these two areas of priority and proposes a framework for addressing these areas of concern.
