Dyslexia
The word 'dyslexia' comes from the Greek and means 'difficulty with words'. Dyslexia also called specific reading disability, dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children. It is a difference in the brain area that deals with language. It affects the under-lying skills that are needed for learning to read, write and spell. Brain imaging techniques show that dyslexic people process information differently. Complications Your child's inability to read well may not affect achievement in other school subjects, such as arithmetic. However, because reading is a skill basic to most other school subjects, a child who has dyslexia is at a great disadvantage in most classes and may have trouble learning. Left untreated, dyslexia may lead to low self-esteem, behavioral problems, delinquency, aggression, and withdrawal or alienation from friends, parents and teachers. The degree to which these problems develop may relate to the severity of the condition. Some children have a relatively mild form of dyslexia, but others have a more severe form.
