Abstract

The present study reviews the incidence of dyslexia in 207 primary school students, from 8 to 13 years of age, who attend public and private institutions in the city of Cuenca (Ecuador). A percentage of 26.57% of subjects was found of whom 36% had superficial dyslexia, 33% phonological dyslexia and 31% mixed dyslexia. Subsequently, variables such as sex, laterality, IQ and type of school are compared, the latter two being those that show significant differences. The circumstances that report such a high incidence in this investigation are discussed.
