Dyslexia Resource

Definition: p30

Dyslexia is a difficulty in the acquisition of literacy skills that is neurological in
origin. It is evident when accurate and fluent reading, spelling and writing
develops very incompletely. It may be caused by a combination of difficulties
in auditory and visual processing, working memory, storage and retrieval in
the lexica (word banks) and motor difficulties. The manifestation of dyslexia in
any individual will depend upon not only individual cognitive differences, but
also the language used.
