Dyslexia Overview

Dyslexia has been weakened in the brain's ability to translate written images received from your eyes into meaningful language. Also called specific reading difficulties, dyslexia is the most common learning disabilities in children.

Dyslexia usually occurs in children with normal vision and normal intelligence. Dyslexic children typically have normal speech, but can be difficult to interpret the spoken and written language.

Dyslexic children need tutoring, and treatment of dyslexia often involves a program of multi-sensory education. Emotional support your child in turn plays an important role.
