Dyslexia

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

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