Perspectives on Dyslexia

Commentary on Educational Concerns

Deborah C. Simmons is a research assistant professor in the Department of Special Education at Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. She received her doctorate in 1986 from Purdue University. Her current research interests focus on means of enhancing the quality and quantity of mainstream reading instruction for students with academic learning problems and issues related to the design of reading instruction. Address: Deborah C. Simmons, Box 328, Peabody College for Teachers, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37203.

This commentary responds to Bashir and Scavuzzo's assertion that dyslexia should be viewed as a chronic, pervasive condition. The limitations of viewing dyslexia in such a light are identified, and alternate perceptions are proposed. Implications and impact of instructional curricula on reading achievement are discussed.
