Descrição

Individuals with reading disorders like dyslexia seem not be a homogeneous group, neither with respect to the underlying causes nor the resulting cognitive profile. Our purpose was to analyze the cognitive profile, using a hierarchical cluster analysis, in an attempt to isolate the main cognitive profiles present in a sample of dyslexic Portuguese children.
