WHAT IS DYSLEXIA? Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes it harder to read and write other symbols. It does not affect someone's intelligence! https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=zafiGBrFkRM
Lets play a little game to show how frustrating it can be for people with dyslexia…

Some quick facts about Dyslexia: Dyslexia is the most common learning disability. Individuals with this medical condition have difficulty in the areas of language processing 1 in 5 people suffer from dyslexia. About 70 to 85% of children who are placed in special education for learning disabilities are dyslexic. People with dyslexia are usually more creative and have a higher level of intelligence. Those with dyslexia use only the right side of the brain to process language, while non-dyslexics use three areas on the left side of the brain to process language. Children have a 50% chance of having dyslexia if one parent has it. And a 100% chance if both parents have it. Dyslexia ranges from mild to severe. Around 40% of people with dyslexia also have ADHD. And those with dyslexia use about 5 times more energy to complete mental tasks.
