Dyslexia is an inherited neurological disorder that affects the way people learn to read and speak as well as how they process things mathematically. Famous dyslexics include Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Leonardo DaVinci, Walt Disney, Tom Cruise, and Whoopi Goldberg.
Dyslexia affects one out of every five people. It affects boys and girls in equal numbers. Children left with untreated dyslexia often suffer devastating personal consequences.
It is the number one reason teenagers drop out of school. It is a primary factor in juvenile delinquency. Research reveals that children with untreated dyslexia can become underachieving adults unable to contribute to society at their fullest capacity.
Dyslexia is, however, a treatable condition. Children with dyslexia need professional help. The earlier they receive it, the greater their chances of achieving normal, fully functional lives. Please contact us for more information.
