Dyslexia

Dyslexia is one of a family of Specific Learning Difficulties.

Many people with dyslexia have strong visual, creative, and problem-solving skills.

Dyslexia is not linked to intelligence but can make learning difficult.

Dyslexia is a life-long condition that has a substantial effect on an individual’s day-to-day activities and is classed as a disability under the Equality Act 2010.

Dyslexia varies from person to person, and no two people will have the same strengths and weaknesses.

It often co-occurs with related conditions, such as dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and attention deficit disorder.

Dyslexic individuals often have difficulty processing and remembering information.

Ten percent of the population is believed to be dyslexic, but it is still often poorly understood.
