If you have not done so, please visit the following website (International Dyslexia Association) and read their research summaries. There are lots of interesting briefs linking neurological anomolies to dyslexia. Dyslexia appears to be, often, far more than just a phonological processing deficit that we can fis with Phonographix or LiPs (though good programs help significantly).

I never doubted that dyslexia was far more than simply having difficulty with breaking the words you hear into sounds, with rhyming, etc. Since so much of the difficulty dyslexics have is matching the names of letters and their sounds to their written counterparts, I always knew that there was a very important visual perceptual (or, as it’s called nowadays, “processing”) element as well. Furthermore, a sizable number of dyslexics have no trouble distinguishing the sounds they hear—the trouble arises when they have to read the written counterparts of those same sounds on paper. So what you brought up makes great sense to me, Anitya.
Yours truly,
Kathy G.
