Dyslexia

The British medical literature has the first description of a specific reading disability in 1896. A "bright and intelligent boy" who had great difficulty learning to read. This intrigued the educators and subsequently

more similar cases were recorded and dyslexic disorders were officially recognized as a learning disorder. There are many definitions of Dyslexia, however it is traditionally defined as "an unexpected difficulty learning to read despite intelligence, motivation, and educational opportunities".

We are now aware that dyslexia is a disorder that affects millions of people all around the world. In-fact it is said that 5 -15% of the world population i.e approx. one billion people, maybe diagnosed to be suffering from various degrees of dyslexia.

The world Dyslexia -'Dys' Means "difficulty" and 'lexia' means "Words" essentially gives one the definition of what dyslexia is in a nut shell - " A person with difficulty in words".
