Description for Dyslexia: The Government of Reading
Hardcover. The Government of Reading describes the genealogy of dyslexia and the positioning dyslexia as an event in the history of reading rather than as an event in the history of medicine or psychology. Num Pages: 242 pages, biography. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 218 x 145 x 19. Weight in Grams: 422.
The diagnosis of 'Dyslexia' and the medical problematisation of reading difficulties were almost unknown one hundred years ago, yet today the British Dyslexia Association estimates that up to ten per cent of the UK population may have some form of dyslexia, with numbers in the United States estimated to be as high as twenty per cent. The Government of Reading investigates how this problematisation developed and how a diagnostic category was shaped in response to this.
