Understanding Dyslexia
Language-based learning disabilities are common — affecting 15-20% of the population — and yet, there are many misconceptions about dyslexia.
Studies show that individuals with dyslexia process information in different areas of the brain than do non-dyslexics. Dyslexia can make reading, writing, spelling, memorizing, and organizing your thoughts a really frustrating experience … even if you are bright, which most dyslexics are.
Dyslexia runs in families. While there is no “cure,” people with dyslexia can learn strategies and techniques and achieve great success — both in school and in life.
