What sort of S&L?

I have seen a lot of 'behavioural' problems that are really frustrated
students with dyslexia.

Hello Luisa --

I'd be grateful for the reference for this if you can find it.

I'm aware of a small-scale study of primary age pupils in a PRU, nearly
all of whom when tested turned out to have S&L difficulties (Heneker, S.
(2005) British Journal for Special Education vol. 32(2), pp. 86–91). I
think they were previously thought to have behaviour difficulties.

Chris
