There is confusion about the nature of screening versus diagnostic assessments, risk versus diagnosis, concurrent versus predictive validity, and inattention to indices of classification accuracy as the basis for determining risk.

We concluded that dyslexia is specifically related with difficulties in reading and writing not only alphabetic material, but al...
