About Dyslexia

One in Five Individuals Have Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin.  It affects reading and related language skills such as fluent word recognition, word retrieval, reading comprehension, spelling and composing written sentences. 


Some people with dyslexia have additional weaknesses in working memory and organization. Dyslexia may also occur concurrently with other learning disabilities, such as dyscalculia (math), dysgraphia (handwriting), ADHD (attention). 


Dyslexia has been found to run in families and is equally common in boys and girls. Most people with dyslexia have normal intelligence; in fact, many are very bright and creative, which may make their challenges more difficult to recognize. 


Many remarkable people with dyslexia have become very successful, such as biologist, Dr. Carol Greider, won the 2009 Nobel Laureate in medicine
