Abstract
This review is concerned mainly with exploring and developing a hypothesis for cases of DD + Dyslexia. It is important to note that the hypothesis only suggests empirical alternatives without constraining the researcher. For example, the Angular is considered here as possible brain area that, in addition to the IPS, is involved in DD + Dyslexia. However, it is provided only as a suggestion for discoveries that are still to be made concerning the nature of DD. Future work would benefit from including multiple measures of cognitive functions in DD or MLD (Mathematics Learning Disability). By doing so, research will be able to more fully describe individual neuropsychology strengths and weaknesses.
