What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability and it is when an individual experiences difficulties with their language skills such as reading, writing, and pronouncing words. Dyslexia can be passed down in the family or due to brain anatomy differences.


Symptoms of Dyslexia

Symptoms of dyslexia include difficulties learning to speak, learning letters and their sounds, organizing written and spoken language, memorizing number facts, reading quickly, spelling, learning a foreign language, and completing math operations. Individuals with dyslexia may experience difficulties with spoken language, such as having a hard time expressing themselves.


Tests to Detect Dyslexia

To test someone for dyslexia, intellectual and academic tests are completed as well as assessing their critical underlying language skills. There are several professionals who can assess children with dyslexia such as psychologists and pediatric neuropsychologists.
