Understand Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a Neurological Difference

The brains of those with dyslexia are wired differently from those without the condition. This difference in wiring makes it difficult for individuals with dyslexia to process the phonological components of language, the language’s sound structure. 

When we read, our brains take the letters we see and turn them into sounds we can understand. Then, it connects those sounds to the meaning of words. For most people, this process happens smoothly. 

In the brains of people with dyslexia, the areas responsible for connecting letters and sounds do not work as smoothly as they should.
