DYSLEXIA: Dyslexia is a neurobiological learning disability that primarily affects reading, spelling, and language processing. It is not a measure of intelligence. People with dyslexia have unexpected difficulty connecting letters to sounds, leading to challenges with reading fluency and accuracy, though they often excel as creative, big-picture thinkers.
Dyslexia is genetic and tied to how the brain processes language. It affects a significant portion of the population (up to 20%). Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation of language, memory, and cognitive skills, typically conducted by educational psychologists, clinical psychologists, or reading specialists.
