Dyslexia is a learning disability. It’ is basically a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling. This is the reading disability that is not because of any visionary or neurological reason and or due to poor reading instructions.
According To experts and researches, dyslexia actually results from differences in how the brain processes written and spoken language. For some, Dyslexia is thought to be the result of a neurological difference, and so it’s not an intellectual disability. Dyslexia is diagnosed in people of all levels of intelligence.
Researchers are searching for a link between the neurological and genetic findings, and the reading disorder. There are many previous and current theories of dyslexia, but one that has much support from research is that, whatever the biological cause, dyslexia is a matter of reduced phonogical awareness, the ability to analyze and link the units of spoken and written languages.
