Abstract

This document explores the evolution of diagnostic tools for reading and writing disorders in children, focusing on their development, validity, and normalization. Recent advances in understanding the underlying mechanisms of these disorders have led to more sensitive instruments. Validation of these tools is crucial to ensure their accuracy and reliability. The normalization process, based on representative samples, establishes reference norms for valid interpretation of results. This integrated approach improves diagnostic accuracy, thereby facilitating the implementation of tailored interventions to support affected children.
