Dyslexia is one of a range of SpLDs. Also included in this umbrella term are:
• Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) –
this condition includes difficulty sustaining attention (ADD can exist with or without
hyperactivity)
• Dyscalculia – specific difficulty with aspects of mathematics
• Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder – involving difficulty with motor
coordination and organising some cognitive skills
• Dysgraphia – difficulty with fine motor skills, especially for handwriting
• Aspergers syndrome – this includes difficulty with certain interpersonal skills and may be
seen as the mild end of the autistic spectrum
• Specific Language Impairment
For the benefit of anyone interested in running an inclusive music classroom, I have included this entire document on this site. A big thank you to the authors.
