Abstract

Neuroanatomical correlates of developmental dyslexia (DD), defined by isolated reading deficits, and specific language impairment (SLI), defined by poor receptive and expressive language skills, were examined using MR imaging in a heterogeneous sample of 14 boys and 8 girls (11-16 yers of age) with learning disabilities, in a study at University of Florida; Georgetown University, Washington, DC; and other centers.
