Dyslexia is a learning difference that can cause difficulties with learning and work. It affects approximately 1 in 10 people. It occurs on a spectrum with some people mildly affected and others more severely.
Everyone with dyslexia is different but there is a commonality of difficulties with reading, spelling, and writing and related cognitive/processing difficulties. Dyslexia is not a general difficulty with learning, it impacts specific skill areas. With the right understanding, accommodations, and support people with dyslexia can achieve success in education, the workplace and in wider society!
