Abstract
Results: Forty-two statements were ultimately accepted. In the current paper we review those statements which pertain to a definition of dyslexia, demonstrate how they align to the research literature and build on previous definitions of dyslexia.
Conclusions: There was considerable consensus in our expert panel that dyslexia is a difficulty in reading and spelling, underpinned by multiple factors, and that it frequently co-occurs with other developmental disorders. It was agreed that difficulties in reading and spelling fluency are key markers of dyslexia across different ages and languages. We conclude with a proposed new definition of dyslexia.
