Why is it important?
While there is existing research and commentary on the connection between dyslexia and mental health concerns, there is significantly less research on interventions that can be implemented to address the needs of this population. This work is important as it presents an early commentary on interventions for dyslexic populations with mental health comorbidities and works to spark additional scholarly discussions and research into this topic.
