WHAT IS IT?
====Dyslexia, also called developmental reading disorder, is a reading disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols. It is when there is a problem in areas of the brain that help interpret language. It is not caused by vision problems. The disorder is a specific information processing problem that does not interfere with one's ability to think or to understand complex ideas. Most people with Dyslexia have normal intelligence, and many have above-average intelligence. Dyslexia may appear in combination with developmental writing disorder and developmental arithmetic disorder. All of these involve using symbols to convey information. These conditions may appear alone or in any combination. Dyslexia often runs in families. ====
