An Overview of Dyslexia by Schwab Learning (pdf)
You've heard the term Dyslexia and wonder if it applies to your child who's struggling in school. How can you tell if your child has this language disorder?
Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person’s ability to read. These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics among people with dyslexia are difficulty with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds) and/or rapid visual-verbal responding.
