Dyslexia Cause
By Sally Robertson, BSc
Dyslexia is the general term used to describe a common learning disorder in which reading ability is impaired due to difficulty recognizing the sounds made in speech and how those sounds relate to letters and words. The condition is also referred to as specific reading disability.
Children affected by dyslexia find it difficult to identify root words, which makes it difficult for them to determine the order in which letters should follow each other in words. Children with dyslexia may have normal vision and intellectual ability, meaning the condition can often go unnoticed and undiagnosed well into adolescence and even adulthood. Most children who have dyslexia can go on to perform well at school if they are provided with emotional support, tutoring and educational programmers tailored to their specific needs. A diagnosis of dyslexia is based on intellectual, psychological, educational, medical, speech and language assessments and the condition is managed through educational programmes that teach strategies for word recognition.
