Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
# Studies show that individuals with dyslexia process information in a different area of the brain than do non-dyslexics.
# Many people who are dyslexic are of average to above average intelligence.
Is there a cure for dyslexia?
* No, dyslexia is not a disease. There is no cure.
* With proper diagnosis, appropriate instruction, hard work and support from family, teachers, friends, and others, individuals who are dyslexic can succeed in school and later as working adults.
Can you be successfull dispite having dyslexia?
Sure you can, it will make things harder but with a bit of hard work dyslexics can succeed.
