What Causes Dyslexia?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Parents should be aware that dyslexia is a condition a child is born with, not a disease. Your child will not outgrow this condition, but a lot can be done to help them cope with it. Research indicates that dyslexia can be traced back to how a person\u2019s brain processes information. When individuals with dyslexia read, they don\u2019t use the same parts of the brain as people who don\u2019t have dyslexia. And while reading, their brains do not process information as efficiently. This is why reading is such painstakingly hard work for them.<\/span><\/p>\n
