What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is difficulty in the use and processing of linguistic/ symbolic codes, which includes spoken language, written language, and language comprehension.
Dyslexics are:
- Often highly creative and intelligent
- Often the children of dyslexics
- Able to learn to read through a structured, multisensory approach that focuses on phonology
Dyslexia is not:
- A sign of poor intelligence
- A vision problem
- Curable with pills, diets, or medical treatment
