Dyslexia is a learning disability that impairs one's ability to read. It is distinguished by difficulties identifying speech sounds and comprehending how they relate to letters and words (decoding).

Most dyslexics can learn to read with early detection and specialized reading instruction.

  • inability to formulate responses to questions or find the right words to use

  • Problems remembering the sequence of things
