Dyslexia

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
