ABSTRACT

The unexpected intrigues. Explanations are sought. The fittest survive. This is why specific learning difficulties (dyslexia) is a controversial topic. We are intrigued; we seek explanations; we discuss and investigate their merits; we disagree. The process continues. ‘If a man begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.’ This was Bacon’s maxim in ‘The Advancement of Learning’. It stands the test of time.
