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.

[edit] Issues needing consensus
These are issues for discussion on which we need to come to consensus. Discuss on the talk page.
- Concern that the lead section is not representative, is vague, and doesn't have a clear general source.
- Consider adding a heading for info related to comorbidities (to include such info as closely related conditions --- do we represent dyscalculia as symptom of dyslexia, or as its own, albeit related disorder?
- Reorganize history section so it doesn't jump back and forth
- Scientific research section -- many problems. Duplications among theories; names not representative;
- Characteristics section lacks sources
- Variations and related conditions lacks sources
- Suggestion to merge Irlen syndrome with Irlen filters and removed from main article (presumably with a summary-type reference?)
- Therapies section very problematic -- US bias; seems to be disagreement among editors regarding what is and is not considered to be based on solid research evidence.
- Consider how to handle links to commercial products. Come to consensus on how to handle proposal to delete several external links:
- Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
- Davis Dyslexia Association International (DDAI)
- Dyslexia International - Tools and Technologies (DITT)
- The abc - de Haan method
- 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.
- Suggestion to add info re: Welsh language orthography
- Suggestion that Facts and Statistics info be handled elsewhere; the criticism is that these facts do not cross national boundaries.
- Address legal issues; educational support issues
