Dyslexia is one of the most prevalent language-based learning disabilities and it affects as many as 1 in 5 Americans. That means up to 20% of students in every classroom are struggling to learn how to read and write.
Dyslexia is a brain-based learning disability that affects an individual’s ability to read and process language. Undiagnosed cases of dyslexia can be detrimental to a young person’s learning, development, and especially their self-confidence. The failure to identify dyslexia early on can create an achievement gap between dyslexic readers and their peers as early as 1st grade.
