Currently, dyslexia is a frequently discussed topic, which is central in many fields of science, such as special education, speech therapy, psychology, linguistics, or neuroscience. The report is a part of the international research which interconnects all the fields mentioned above. The paper presents a comparison of psychological and special-educational evaluation of adult university students/university alumni with dyslexia and without it. In this part of the research, 27 participants were assessed by a series of six tests. The data obtained were processed in IBM SPSS Statistics 23 with the help of Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results showed that group with dyslexia varied in their test performance aimed at reading and reading abilities, and there were no significant intelligence, attention or short-term memory differences. At the end, the report includes partial data taken from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Keywords: dyslexia, adult, reading, student, neuroscience, special education
