Dyslexia
Affects reading and related language-based processing skills
Dyslexia accounts for approximately 80% of all learning disabilities and is a language processing disorder. Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects a person's ability to read, write, and spell accurately. It is a neurological condition that hinders the development of phonological processing skills, which are essential for recognizing and manipulating sounds in spoken language. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence; people with dyslexia often have average or above-average intelligence.
