SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
One of the key topics for establishing meaningful links between brain sciences and education is the development of reading. This book addresses many questions gathering interdisciplinary knowledge - from biology to teaching practice - in order to establish a scientific and practical knowledge base of reading disorders.
