[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no official criteria or cut-offs to classify dyslexia by severity. As a psychologist, I wouldn't indicate mild/moderate/severe in the diagnosis, I would just say specific learning disability in reading/dyslexia. I would descriptively use mild or severe labels to indicate the functional impact on academics. A high schooler struggling to decode early elementary level words - severe. A fourth grader with decoding/fluency at third or second grade level - mild.[/quote] It probably doesn’t matter in practice, but that high schooler may have less-severe phonological deficits but may have never gotten any remediation, whereas the fourth grader could have severe phonological deficits but have received really good phonological training in K and 1st. The severity of the causal deficit may not be the same as the eventual impact on reading, in other words.[/quote]
