  ABSTRACT: The diagnostic assessment in Dyslexia must be carried out in an interdisciplinary way, prioritizing cognitive, phonoaudiological, psychopedagogical and biological aspects. In this sense, the aim of the study was to compare the cognitive and behavioral profile of two individuals with Developmental Dyslexia (DD), discuss the importance of interdisciplinary assessment and also describe the main behavioral and academic impacts. These two patients were treated at a neuropediatrics outpatient clinic of the public health network in Brazil. The criteria for selecting participants were patients with the diagnosis of Developmental Dyslexia given by the outpatient clinic, patients with comorbidities with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder were excluded from the study. The participants were evaluated by the areas of neuropsychology, speech therapy, psychopedagogy and medicine, in order to obtain the global profile of the patients’ functioning. The results indicated the presence of multivariate profiles and reinforced the importance of an interdisciplinary view for the diagnosis and subsequent planning of interventions.
