HC Deb 02 December 1974 vol 882 c372W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress has been made in identifying a neurological aetiology for specific developmental dyslexia.

Dr. Owen

There are obvious difficulties in investigating the intact brain; but studies, using electro-encephalography, of children with severe reading difficulties have shown evidence of unresolved cerebral dominance.
