Inconsistent inclusionary and exclusionary criteria for diagnosing children with dyslexia. Lack of consistency in the assessment of oral language skills in research on dyslexia. Neglecting oral language may introduce a fundamental confound, affecting the interpretation and conclusions of research on children with dyslexia.

There is a lack of understanding about the experiences of dyslexic adults and their perspectives on meaningful support. Current support and resources for dyslexic adults may be inadequate or ineffective. The paper seeks to address this gap by exploring the experiences of dyslexic adults and identifying the challenges they face.

Further research is needed to investigate the assessment of oral language skills in children with dyslexia, - Research should aim to determine which domains of oral language are included for children with dyslexia, - Studies should investigate the prevalence of oral language difficulties in children with dyslexia

Prior studies have shown that few follow-up studies included a large sample size, used clearly stated diagnostic criteria, or followed subjects well into adulthood. There is a need for large-scale, long-term follow-up studies of individuals with dyslexia to examine their adult outcomes and reading habits.

Future studies should examine the long-term outcomes of individuals with dyslexia, including their occupational and educational achievements, and reading habits. Studies should use large sample sizes and clearly stated diagnostic criteria to ensure generalizability and validity. Research should investigate the impact of educational interventions and support services on adult outcomes for individuals with dyslexia.
