It never ceases to amaze me that every so often someone decides that dyslexia does not exist. In this case it is an MP whose constituency includes Strangeways Prison. He observes that 80% of the inmates are illiterate. I believe he thinks that this is a result of poor teaching and not a consequence of a learning difficulty such as dylexia.
I'd be interested in any comments on the matters from fellow practitioners.

I think that this is part of a pattern, a sort of "back to basics" approach which undermines genuine research and critical thought. Thanks for pointing this out, Nick.
This the kind of arrogance we need to be aware of.
