What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning difference that primarily affects a person’s ability to read, spell, write, and sometimes speak. It is neurological in origin, meaning it’s related to how the brain processes language. People with dyslexia typically have normal intelligence, but they may struggle with language-based tasks despite having had access to education.
