Dyslexia is a language based learning disability that affects between 15-20% of the
population as a whole. People with dyslexia show difficulty with various forms of printed and spoken language including reading,
writing, and spelling. It occurs in people of all backgrounds and intellectual levels. Those with dyslexia are often very
bright and gifted in other areas. Dyslexia presents itself as an unexpected weakness amid a sea of strengths.
