Dyslexia is a term that is spoken much more now then years past. What is Dyslexia? Here are two definitions, one simple and a revised detailed definition from the International Dyslexia Association.
A simple definition of Dyslexia is, an inherited neurological condition, depending on the severity, that can make it very difficult for a person to learn to read, spell, and write, even with normal to high intelligence.
A revised detailed definition from the International Dyslexia Association is, “Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and
decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.”
