About Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a learning difference that makes reading, spelling and writing harder than usual, even when a young person or adult is bright and hardworking.

People with dyslexia often find it tricky to hear and work with sounds in words, remember sequences or organise information.

Dyslexia can vary in severity and may affect each person differently. It can also impact other skills, such as reading comprehension, maths or learning another language.

Many young people with dyslexia may also experience other learning or developmental differences, such as ADHD, developmental language difficulties or coordination challenges.

Dyslexia can run in families, but with understanding, support, and the right strategies, people with dyslexia can learn and thrive.
