Dr. Julian (Joe) Elliott has been studying dyslexia for decades and has come to the realization that we simply don't have any solid ways of determining if a child is in fact dyslexic. The response to students diagnosed with dyslexia is the same as a child identified as having reading difficulties. According to Dr. Elliott, more quality time is served by focusing on the best ways to support all struggling readers rather than identifying some students as dyslexic. Dr. Elliott also worries that the concept of dyslexia has been politicized, creating potential inequities in the ways we serve children. Dr. Elliott is a professor of educational psychology in the UK at the University of Durham.
