Abstract
This special issue grew out of the XVI International Rodin Remediation Scientific Conference held in Boulder, Colorado in September, 1990 which was devoted to the topic of genetic and neurological influences on dyslexia, or reading disability (RD). This conference would not have been possible without the vision and generosity of Per Udden and the Rodin Remediation Foundation, who have been unique catalysts in fostering an interdisciplinary understanding of dyslexia or RD.
