Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental learning difference which includes differing abilities, with strengths in creative, problem-solving and communication skills and challenges with spelling, reading and memorising facts.
Dyslexia influences as many as 1 in 5 people and is a genetic difference in an individual’s ability to learn and process information. As a result, dyslexic individuals have differing abilities, with strengths in creative, problem-solving and communication skills and challenges with spelling, reading and memorising facts.
Generally, a dyslexic cognitive profile will be uneven when compared to a neurotypical cognitive profile.
This means that dyslexic individuals really do think differently. Traditional benchmarking disadvantages dyslexics, measuring them against the very things they find challenging. Made By Dyslexia (2023).
There is no connection between dyslexia and intelligence. Dyslexia occurs across all sectors of society and is a lifelong condition. Dyslexia occurs independent of ability and socio-economic background.
