What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is classified as a specific learning difficulty (SpLD) which means that a person might have normal or above average intelligence but have difficulties with acquiring specific skills. It is often described as an unusual balance of skills which is caused by specific cognitive processing difficulties.

The best source of information about dyslexia is the students themselves. Try asking them the question, 'How does dyslexia affect you?'
