  Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. Brain imaging has indicated these differences in brain. […] Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. […] Dyslexia results from a deficit in the phonological component of language. […] Essential characteristics of dyslexia include: a. poor decoding b. poor spelling c. difficulties with accurate word recognition d. difficulties with fluency (accuracy and speed) of word recognition. Secondary consequences may include problems with reading comprehension and impact the acquisition of vocabulary. These two areas may be affected but are not essential to the diagnosis.

• #2 Dyslexia Testing and Diagnosis | CNLD Neuropsychology

  https://www.cnld.org/dyslexia-testing-and-diagnosis/

  Dyslexia is a common learning disability affecting about 20 percent of the population. Dyslexia affects the ability to read, write, and spell, and is not an indication of a lack of intelligence. Early identification and diagnosis for dyslexia are both key to ensuring customized interventions and treatments leading to the academic success of the individual. […] Identifying dyslexia early will ensure the child gets the support and interventions they need. […] As a parent, if you detect these challenges, its wise to seek a formal evaluation to determine for certain if dyslexia is present. […] There is no single test that is able to diagnose dyslexia. Dyslexia testing involves a comprehensive set of assessments performed by trained professionals such as licensed psychologists, educational specialists, and speech-language pathologists. […] Once a dyslexia diagnosis is made, a plan for more targeted interventions and support can be created. In the end, dyslexia testing is important in understanding the unique learning needs of the individual so that the appropriate interventions can be recommended.

  Dyslexia is a well-known learning disorder that poses challenges in reading acquisition. […] Dyslexia is a learning condition that complicates the process of learning to read. […] Experts estimate that 15 to 20% of the population experiences symptoms related to dyslexia. […] Individuals with dyslexia may read more slowly, encounter difficulty recognizing words, and often read at a lower level than expected. […] Breaking down words into sounds or matching letters to sounds may pose challenges during reading. […] It’s crucial to clarify that dyslexia is not an illness; rather, it affects how information is stored and accessed in the brain during reading. […] Importantly, dyslexia does not indicate a lack of intelligence, as evidenced by studies showing no correlation between IQ and dyslexia.

• #4 Psychiatry.org – What Are Specific Learning Disorders?

  https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/specific-learning-disorder/what-is-specific-learning-disorder

  In 2013, the DSM-5 changed the diagnostic criteria for Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) to combine all three learning disorders (reading, mathematics, and written expression) into one overarching diagnosis. Specific learning disorders (often referred to as a learning disorder or learning disability, see note on terminology) are neurodevelopmental disorders that are typically diagnosed in early school-aged children, although may not be recognized until adulthood. They are characterized by a persistent impairment in at least one of three major areas: reading, written expression, and/or math. […] An estimated 5 to 15% of school-age children struggle with a learning disability. An estimated 80% of those with learning disorders have an impairment in reading in particular (commonly referred to as dyslexia). Dyslexia is common, affecting 20% of the population. Dyslexia affects males and females equally. Specific learning disorder often occurs along with other neurodevelopmental disorders (such as ADHD) and with anxiety.

• #5 Dyslexia – Symptoms and causes – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dyslexia/symptoms-causes/syc-20353552

  Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). […] Though there’s no cure for dyslexia, early assessment and intervention result in the best outcome. […] Talk with your health care provider if your child’s reading level is below what’s expected for your child’s age or if you notice other signs of dyslexia. […] When dyslexia goes undiagnosed and untreated, childhood reading difficulties continue into adulthood. […] Dyslexia results from individual differences in the parts of the brain that enable reading. […] A family history of dyslexia or other reading or learning disabilities increases the risk of having dyslexia. […] Dyslexia can lead to several problems, including: Trouble learning. Because reading is a skill basic to most other school subjects, a child with dyslexia is at a disadvantage in most classes and may have trouble keeping up with peers. […] Left untreated, dyslexia may lead to low self-esteem, behavior problems, anxiety, aggression, and withdrawal from friends, parents and teachers. […] The inability to read and comprehend can prevent children from reaching their potential as they grow up.

• #11 Dyslexia: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Types

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/6005-dyslexia

  Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes reading and language-related tasks harder. […] Although dyslexia is due to differences in your brain, no blood tests or lab screenings can detect it. Instead, careful evaluation and testing of common signs identify someone with this reading problem. […] Testing for dyslexia should look at: Decoding (reading unfamiliar words by sounding them out), Oral language skills, Reading fluency and reading comprehension, Spelling, Vocabulary, Word recognition. […] Typically, early testing is best for learning disabilities. Your child can begin learning new reading strategies sooner with an early diagnosis. […] Currently, no medications treat dyslexia. Instead, educational interventions can teach effective new ways to learn and read. […] Dyslexia often draws attention when children begin learning to read, but it isn’t always detected early. Without early diagnosis, many children struggle with reading problems throughout school and into adulthood.

  Another strong indicator of dyslexia is rapid naming, also called word fluency. […] Poor readers are usually able to name symbols, words and pictures accurately, but they are characteristically slower than skilled readers. […] Reading fluency is the combination of the score of the accuracy of reading and the rate (speed) of which one can read. […] A child who reads accurately but not fluently (at a slower rate) is dyslexic. […] Reading comprehension is the understanding of the printed word. […] While some people with dyslexia may be able to read fluently, they may still struggle with reading comprehension. […] Evaluating spelling proficiency can provide valuable diagnostic information about phonemic awareness and language in general. […] Poor spelling may also be a possible indicator of a hearing deficit or auditory processing disorder.

Per the APA, “Specific learning disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders that are typically diagnosed in early school-aged children, although may not be recognized until adulthood. They are characterized by a persistent impairment in at least one of three major areas: reading, written expression, and/or math.” […] Currently, there are 4 diagnostic criteria that must be met for a person to receive a diagnosis of dyslexia (specific learning disorder): Persistent difficulties for 6 or more months with reading, comprehension, spelling, and/or writing, despite direct instruction. Academic struggles that are impacting school, work, and/or daily living. The difficulties with reading originated during school years. (Note: Early signs may be evident during preschool years.)

  Reading and spelling disorder (dyslexia) is one of the more common specific developmental disorders, with a prevalence of approximately 5%. It is characterized by severe impairment of learning to read and spell. […] The diagnostic assessment of dyslexia consists of a battery of standardized reading and spelling tests and an evaluation of the child’s psychological state, including additional information obtained from parents and teachers. […] The diagnosis of dyslexia should be established with the aid of the multiaxial classification system. […] The International Classification of Mental Disorders and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders define diagnostic criteria which can be used to diagnose dyslexia and, in the case of ICD-10, also to diagnose isolated spelling disorder.

This means a percentage ranking 16, which corresponds to one standard deviation below the mean. […] However, diagnosis must not be based on reading and spelling test scores alone. […] Treatment consists initially of defining the disorder, advising parents, and possibly also advising teachers. […] Dyslexia treatment has two components: treatment of core problems with reading and spelling, and treatment of any concurrent psychological disorders.

[…] This can be carried out by an educational psychologist or an appropriately qualified specialist dyslexia teacher. […] After your child has been assessed, you’ll receive a report that outlines their strengths and weaknesses, with recommendations of what could be done to improve areas they’re having difficulties with.

  When your child starts primary school is when the signs will start to look more like dyslexia and less like teething pains with learning to read. […] When you can see over a few months that their school results are consistently impacted by their difficulty, it is a clear sign to start their journey for a diagnosis. […] There is a learning gap that starts developing between dyslexic and non-dyslexic students. It will only get larger with time, as their hindrance with reading holds back dyslexic learners. […] Considering all the above, how do you get around starting that discussion about a dyslexia diagnosis? […] If your child is diagnosed with dyslexia: a dyslexia diagnosis helps you move forward by providing you with concrete information about what your child’s weaknesses and strengths are, which you can then use to determine, together with your child’s school, what the right type of support for them is. […] Even without a dyslexia diagnosis, most schools will provide support for children who struggle with reading in comparison to their peers. Dyslexia remediation methods can also help with reading difficulties of all levels, so there are still ways to remedy difficulties with reading.

  Dyslexia can begin to reveal itself at a young age, and there are preschool evaluations that look at the child’s awareness of the sounds that make up words, and ability at word retrieval. However, Matthew Cruger, PhD, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Child Mind Institute, suggests waiting until kids are at least six years old and have had some formal instruction in reading to seek out a formal evaluation. […] But Dr. Shaywitz notes that as soon as a gap between intelligence and reading skills is apparent — and evidence shows it can be seen in first grade — it’s a good idea to get help. Schools sometimes encourage parents to wait until the third grade to see if their child truly needs an intervention, but Dr. Shaywitz argues that the earlier intervention is important not only to help kids catch up but to boost their fragile self-image, which is damaged by continuing struggle in school and comparisons with peers.
