Dyslexia: An Overview
Living with a condition like dyslexia can be challenging, especially when everyday tasks like writing or reading become a struggle.
Dyslexia is a condition that makes it hard to read , write, spell, and speak. It affects how the brain works with written and spoken language. People with dyslexia may have normal intelligence and vision but find language-related tasks incredibly challenging.
The term "dyslexia" is derived from the Greek words "dys" meaning difficulty and "lexis" meaning words or language. "The word dyslexia was first used in 1887 by an opthalmologist, Rudolf Berlin, and much early research centered around the idea of dyslexia having its root causes in sight" ( Stanway & Miles, 2012).
