What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects reading, spelling, and written language processing. It is not linked to intelligence but stems from differences in how the brain processes language. Individuals with dyslexia may face challenges with word recognition and reading fluency, which can impact confidence in school, work, or daily life.
However, dyslexia often comes with unique strengths in creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. With early identification and the right support, individuals can build essential skills, thrive academically or professionally, and achieve their full potential.
