Dyslexia is a developmental disorder that affects how the brain interprets written language. It is primarily considered a learning disability because it stems from a defect in the brain's handling of graphic symbols. The impact of dyslexia differs from one individual to another, but the commonality among those with dyslexia is their reading ability, which is considerably below the average for their age and intelligence level. Unlike reading delays caused by factors such as emotional or cultural deprivation, dyslexia is distinct. Addressing dyslexia involves tailoring educational strategies to fit the unique learning challenges of the person affected. Typically, this means adapting teaching techniques and educational environments to accommodate their specific needs. The prognosis is often positive, especially for those whose dyslexia is detected early on, who benefit from a supportive network of family and friends, possess a healthy self-image, and participate in effective remediation programs.
