Abstract
The use of learning style approaches remains comparatively common in the world of SpLD/dyslexia support, despite the fact that learning style theory has caused controversy and division among educators and psychologists over the past twenty years. A slightly daunting invitation to represent the world of learning style at a recent ADSHE conference, where neuroscientists had been invited to enjoy a spot of myth-busting, forced me to re-examine an area from which I have moved more recently into other research projects around dyslexia and inclusion. It is always enlightening and, it could be argued, essential to re-examine our assumptions and this paper maps out where I find myself, over ten years on from the 2008 publication of the second edition of my book “Dyslexia and Learning Style”.
