Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a learning disability that can hinder a person's ability to read, write, spell, and sometimes speak. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children and persists throughout life.


It is caused by an impairment in the brain's ability to translate images received from the eyes or ears into understandable language. It is not due to mental retardation, brain damage, a lack of intelligence or vision or hearing problems.
