What is Dyslexia?
Most people think of dyslexia as being a difficulty with reading and writing. Whilst this can certainly be true, there are a whole range of symptoms that someone with dyslexia can experience – even if they don’t have any problems with reading and writing.
Dyslexia can be broadly defined as a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. People with dyslexia learn differently from people without dyslexia as they use different parts of the brain to interpret and analyse the world around them. This is why many people with dyslexia can experience difficulty in processing, memorising and verbalising information.
