Dyslexia

Dyslexia is characterized by difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words. Also called a specific reading disability, dyslexia is a common learning disability in children. Dyslexia affects individuals throughout their lives; however, its impact can change at different stages in a person’s life.

Dyslexia is primarily associated with trouble reading. Some doctors, specialists and educators may refer to it as a “reading disorder” or a “reading disability.” But it can also affect writing, spelling and even speaking.
