Dyslexia

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is much more than confusing letters or words. It's a learning disorder which affects a person's ability to read, write and, in some cases, understand texts. But don't worry, we're not talking about an intellectual disability. Nothing like that! People with dyslexia are creative, resourceful, and often have unique abilities in areas such as the arts, problem solving and unusual thinking.

This disorder is rooted in the mastermind, specifically in How does it process language. Although it sounds technical, what really matters is that dyslexia doesn't define a person, it's just a part of who they are. In addition, with the right strategies and good support, those living with dyslexia can overcome the challenges they face and shine in their areas of interest.

Did you know that great geniuses like Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci are believed to have dyslexia? So if you or someone you know has this disorder, you're in the best company possible!

Dyslexia symptoms

Recognizing the symptoms of dyslexia may be the first step in providing support. Although each person is different, there are common signs that may indicate the presence of this disorder.

Each type requires specific approaches to learning, and understanding these differences can make a big difference in the lives of those who suffer from it.
