Dyslexia Awareness Month

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that affects reading, spelling, writing, and pronunciation skills. It can impact individuals throughout their lives, with varying degrees of severity. Dyslexia is considered a learning disability because it can make academic success challenging, sometimes requiring special education or support services.
