Dyslexia & Related Disorders

Dyslexia, in tandem with its affiliated disorders, constitutes a distinctive realm of learning disabilities with neurobiological underpinnings. While primarily characterized by difficulties in accurate word recognition, spelling, and decoding due to phonological deficits, its consequences extend to diminished reading comprehension and restricted reading exposure, thereby impeding vocabulary growth and foundational knowledge acquisition. Under the encompassing term “Dyslexia & Related Disorders,” addressing these challenges mandates a comprehensive approach that acknowledges both immediate impediments and their far-reaching educational implications.
