Nonlinguistic perceptual deficits associated with reading and language disorders

Recent behavioral evidence supports the idea that some individuals with reading and language disorders are impaired in their perception of nonlinguistic auditory and visual information. More sophisticated measurement paradigms and analysis techniques are leading to a clearer understanding of these deficits and to possibilities for their remediation.
