Detailed explanation-1: -Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dyslexia is included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) as a specific learning disability (SLD). Dyslexia impacts reading, specifically decoding and accurate and/or fluent word recognition and spelling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dyslexia is more an auditory disorder than a visual disorder We naturally think of dyslexia as a visual problem with reading, but the neurological root cause reveals something different-it’s actually a disorder with auditory, or hearing, processing.
Detailed explanation-4: -’Dyslexia’ was coined by Kussmaul’s contemporary, Rudolph Berlin, an ophthalmologist and academic, bringing the term in line with other common diagnoses of the time: alexia and paralexia (Berlin, 1883). These implied a physical disease of the brain, in which reading ability, in particular, was affected (Wagner, 1973).
