What Is Dyslexia? Dyslexia is a learning disability that can affect a person’s reading, writing, spelling, and sometimes speaking. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children and adults. Studies have shown, dyslexia can go undetected in the early grades of schooling. It is caused by impairment in the brains ability to decode images received from the eyes or ears into an understanding language. It doesn’t mean a person has vision or hearing problems. Dyslexia is not due to mental retardation, lack of intelligence, or brain damage.
