From the International Dyslexia Association...

In their Winter edition of Perspectives on Language and Literacy, IDA discusses "demystifying the "D" word.  A parent writes an article about how her daughter was labeled SLD, but was not offered any specific information as to why the girl could not read.  The founder of a school for dyslexic children writes about why the term learning disabled is too vague to be of use in helping a dyslexic child, and about how important an early diagnosis is to a child's success.
