S ummary . Results are presented for 107 retarded children who received tuition by means of a ‘dyslexia‐centred’ programme. In 41 cases the teaching was organised by a hospital clinic, in 44 cases by a unit attached to a university department, and in 22 cases by a private body, these three centres being different in many other ways but alike in that all took the concept of dyslexia seriously. It is argued that in suitable conditions such teaching can be effective, and the implications for the concept of dyslexia are briefly discussed.
