National Dyslexia Awareness Month
Posted by Janice Koblick, SLD Curriculum Supervisor, ESLS Division on 10/28/2019
Dyslexia is the most common learning disability and affects 80 to 90 percent of all individuals with a learning disability. It is defined as an unexpected difficulty in reading for an individual who has the intelligence to be a much better reader. Dyslexia is due to difficulty in getting to the individual sounds of spoken language, which affects the ability of an individual to speak, read, spell, and often, learn a language.
Early diagnosis of dyslexia is critical for ensuring that individuals with dyslexia receive focused, evidence-based interventions that leads to the promotion of self-awareness and self-empowerment and the provision of necessary accommodations so as to ensure school and life success.
