Introduction

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by slow and inaccurate word recognition and has been observed in all cultures studied. (Peterson & Pennington, 2012) Research spanning disciplines such as behavioral, neuropsychological, neurobiological, and causal analysis has made significant progress over the past five years. The sound-based theory remains the most convincing explanation from a neuropsychological perspective, while neurobiological studies show disruptions in the language network of the left hemisphere and abnormal development of white matter in dyslexic individuals (Peterson & Pennington, 2012). Studies of reading experience suggest that many of the observed neural differences may be causes rather than consequences of dyslexia (Peterson & Pennington, 2012). This web research gives a detailed analysis of the causes and diagnoses, Interventions, and Resources and tools for Dyslexia.
