What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a term that is commonly used, but rarely ever fully explained. It is often associated with poor or jumbled spelling, and though these are common symptoms, it does not paint a full picture of the disorder. Dyslexia is a developmental reading disorder which is rooted in the brain's inability to properly process symbols such as letters. It is not associated with critical thinking, understanding or intelligence. In fact, it is described as a disability which impairs reading development despite adequate or normal intelligence. Dyslexia is by far the most common learning disability and according to the International Dyslexia Association, up to 15%-20% of any population may suffer from varying degrees of the disorder.

What are the Types of Dyslexia

1. 1

   Primary

   There are three main types of dyslexia which have been identified - primary, secondary and trauma. Primary dyslexia is dyslexia in its genetic form, meaning that affected children are born with the disorder. In these cases, the left side of the brain suffers from a dysfunction that leads to issues processing symbols and this does not improve significantly over time. Primary dyslexia occurs more frequently in males than females.

2. 2

   Secondary

   Secondary dyslexia is sometimes referred to as developmental dyslexia and in these cases the disorder is triggered during the final stages of fetal development rather than genetic predisposition. Often times, secondary dyslexia sufferers improve over time, some very rapidly.

3. 3

   Third

   The third and final type of dyslexia stems from brain trauma. In children, common illnesses such as prolonged flu or ear infections can damage auditory function which leads to this form of the disorder. In adults, injury or brain diseases can trigger trauma dyslexia in adulthood.
