Introduction to Dyslexia

The Mayo Clinic characterizes Dyslexia as a learning disorder that involves reading difficulty due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Dyslexia affects people differently, so symptoms may not look the same person to person. Dyslexia does not only affect a child’s educational skills, but can also affect social interaction, memory, and the ability to deal with stress.  Do you suspect your child may have Dyslexia?
