Dyslexia


As presented in ICD-10, the main feature of dyslexia is a specific and significant impairment in the development of reading skills, not solely accounted for by mental age, visual acuity problems, or inadequate schooling. Reading comprehension, word recognition, oral reading skills, and performance of other tasks requiring reading may all be affected. Spelling difficulties are common and often remain into adolescence even after some progress in reading has been made.
