Introduction[edit | edit source]

Dyslexia is a prevalent learning disability of neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by a child's difficulty with reading, writing, and spelling. The difficulty is due to phonological processing (i.e., the use of sounds of one's language to process spoken and written language), which consequently affects one's ability to read, speak, spell, and learn a second language.[1] People with dyslexia can also demonstrate poor spelling and decoding abilities.[2] It is the most common neurocognitive disorder.
