Children with language-based reading delays and/or dyslexia have difficulties in reading, spelling, and writing. It is thought that 15-20% of the population display symptoms of dyslexia. It is not an eyesight difficulty, and it is not linked to an individual’s intelligence. Although we cannot cure dyslexia with early identification and intervention, many children are very successful.
