What is Dyslexia?

Listen to this page with proReader

Dyslexia is an invisible disability. It is caused by a difference in brain structure which is present at birth and is often hereditary. As a result, incoming or outgoing information gets scrambled as it travels between the senses and the brain. Dyslexia does not affect intelligence level -- yet it can impair one's ability to learn, retain and express information.
