Learning Disabilities Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a neurological condition that prevents the signals that are received from the eyes to be clearly interpreted by the brain. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently. Dyslexics require special training to be able to interpret what they see in ways that let them extract the necessary info to be able to interpret them correctly.

The first sign of dyslexia is often difficulty in reading. In reading you need to see the letters clearly and then interpret these letters into words and the words into sounds things or actions. Various types of dyslexia can complicate this process of perception and translation

The origin of the term “dyslexia” is found in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to dictionaries, reading, word orders.

About 10% of the general population has some sort of dyslexia, in some degree.

There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. But there is really only one way to know for sure whether a person has dyslexia or not and to what degree.

And that is through dyslexia testing.
