Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is believed to be the result of differences in the way the brain is wired. Symptoms include difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition, poor spelling and decoding abilities. This is often caused by a deficit in the phonological component of language processing. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence. Other related issues may include problems in reading comprehension and an aversion to reading that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

Academic Therapy for treating Dyslexia would include the PASP program for the phonological processing issues and the ReadingFish® program for comprehension problems.
