Factors influencing work participation of adults with developmental dyslexia: a systematic review

BackgroundEvidence has been synthesized to determine hindering and facilitating factors associated with the work participation of adults with developmental dyslexia (DD), classified according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).MethodsA systematic literature review has been performed. Two search strings were used to determine the population and the context of work. The ICF was expanded with two subdivisions: one that made the environmental factors more work-related and a subdivision of personal factors. For data extraction the method known as qualitative metasummary was used and the manifest frequency effect size (MFES) for each category in the ICF was calculated.ResultsFrom 33 included studies 318 factors have been extracted and classified in the ICF. In the classification the frequency of occurrences and the consistency in direction (i.e., hindering or facilitating) have been made visible. The ICF categories with the highest MFES were mental functions with factors like feelings and emotions about dyslexia; activities like reading or writing/spelling; participation with factors like acquiring and keeping a job; social relationships at work where the attitudes and support of the employer and co-workers are important; working conditions with factors like the availability of assistive technology and accommodations on the job; and personal factors like self-disclosure and coping strategies.ConclusionsIn the context of work DD affects nearly all domains of functioning, mostly in a negative way. Within each domain the impact of DD increases over the course of life. To overcome that negative influence, many forms of adaptation, compensation, or coping are mentioned. Also notable is the lack of positive attitudes toward DD of the participants with DD—with the exception of the attitudes of teachers with DD—as well as on the part of colleagues, supervisors, and employers.

“…Large axons facilitate the rapid sensory integration needed to perceive temporal cues in auditory and visual stimuli. Therefore it is not surprising that poor readers generally have difficulty processing rapidly changing auditory and visual stimuli (Tallal et al 1998; Stein 2001; Livingstone et al 1991) and exhibit impairments in bimanual coordination (Moore et al 1995). Among individuals with dyslexia, adults who have greater phonological processing deficits (Moore et al 1996) and children who tend to read quickly and inaccurately at least some of the time (i.e., “linguistic dyslexia” (Fabbro et al 2001) have the most difficulty with interhemispheric transfer of complex tactile information.…”

Within a dyslexia population, bimanual coordination performance was positively correlated with visuoconstruction performance (Moore et al 1995), suggesting that effective callosal integration of visuospatial information may significantly impact reading skill.…”

This review provides an overview of the involvement of the corpus callosum (CC) in a variety of developmental disorders that are currently defined exclusively by genetics, developmental insult, and/or behavior. I begin with a general review of CC development, connectivity, and function, followed by discussion of the research methods typically utilized to study the callosum. The bulk of the review concentrates on specific developmental disorders, beginning with agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC)—the only condition diagnosed exclusively by callosal anatomy. This is followed by a review of several genetic disorders that commonly result in social impairments and/or psychopathology similar to AgCC (neurofibromatosis-1, Turner syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, Williams yndrome, and fragile X) and two forms of prenatal injury (premature birth, fetal alcohol syndrome) known to impact callosal development. Finally, I examine callosal involvement in several common developmental disorders defined exclusively by behavioral patterns (developmental language delay, dyslexia, attention-deficit hyperactive disorder, autism spectrum disorders, and Tourette syndrome).

“…Also, functions such as postural stability or muscle tone (e.g., Fawcett & Nicolson, 1999) and motor output (e.g., Moore, Brown, Markee, Theberge, & Zvi, 1995;Wolff, Michel, Ovrut, & Drake, 1990) appear to be affected in dyslexia. Several earlier studies have also indicated the pansensory nature of temporal acuity impairment of sequences in SLI (Tallal & Piercy, 1973b;Tallal et al, 1981) and dyslexia (Kinsbourne et al, 1991;Laasonen et al, 2000).…”
