[Linganth] Dyslexia in Chinese speakers

[Valeria Incoletti]

Does anyone have information on dyslexia in Chinese
children?
I'm a cultural mediator, I often help Chinese children
learn Italian; I have one child in particular who seems to
have peculiar difficulties in learning to read, his
teachers all have thought of possible dyslexia. They have
many Chinese children in the same school and no one has
ever presented the same difficulties. It's very difficult
for them to distinguish between linguistic (in)competence
and real learning difficulties, though. I speak fluent
Chinese and I hope I can help the speech therapist
distinguish what derives from the language change from
personal difficulties.
I'd be grateful if anyone could suggest material on either
dyslexia in Chinese speakers or how to diagnose dyslexia in
a multilingual context.

Thanks,

Valeria Incoletti
