Jumbled LettersDyslexia (pronounced: dis-lex-ia) affects approximately 10% of the population, 4% severely.

Timekeeping, sense of direction and interpersonal skills can also be affected.

 

Definition of Dyslexia

‘Dyslexia means having difficulty with words in reading, spelling and writing - in spite of having normal intelligence and ability’.


by Dr J E Cullis, 1992


It is very important to recognise dyslexia as soon as possible, before it impacts on a child’s self-esteem. There is no single set of signs that characterise all dyslexics.
