Key Features

William Yule's many contributions to the field of reading disabilities over the last 40 years are reviewed and set in the context of recent research evidence. The value of regression methods in the measurement of reading performance remains valid, but spelling, as well as reading, difficulties need to be assessed in relation to the diagnosis of dyslexia. Although categorical approaches to diagnosis are needed for some purposes, it is likely that the genetic liability to dyslexia is dimensional. Overall, Yule's identification of the key features of specific reading retardation have been confirmed by subsequent research, but the concept of general reading backwardness as a diagnosis has proved less meaningful. The identification of the high rate of comorbidity between reading disability and emotional/behavioural disturbance, highlighted by Yule 35 years ago, has been amply confirmed but the causal mechanisms remain ill-understood.

Article is devoted to reveal how to improve visual and spatial conceptions in students with dyslexia. Theoretical framework of notions is presented and some practical activities are revealed. Basic concepts of dyslexia are presented and significance of visual and spatial development is described. Some practical aspects are described and stated. There are offered correctional developmental action models and the principles of selection and use of the tasks. The continuity and gradual increase of the difficulty degree is essential for the success of the adjustment and achievement of sustainable results.The latest researches in the neuropsychology have made major contribution to the understanding of the visual-spatial development and its importance during the learning process of reading literacy.They also provide insight into the relationship with specific reading disabilities and justify the necessity and possibilities of correction of visual-spatial perception disorders and deficiencies.
