Dyslexia is both a specific learning difference. It can be viewed as a syndrome since children may exhibit a range of symptoms. The most common include challenges with reading and writing, working memory, learning a second language, and difficulties with vocabulary, grammar, narrative speech, and, as well as issues in subjects like math. Typically, these children excel in drawing and demonstrate high levels of creativity. Approximately 10% of the global population is affected. It is thought to have a genetic component, as many families multiple cases. Each year, there are also misdiagnoses, meaning some children appear to have dyslexia but do not. But why? This is because, while all children with dyslexia struggle with reading, not all children who have reading difficulties are dyslexic.

What is not dyslexia?
Reading is a multifaceted process that engages various areas of the brain. read effectively, we primarily rely on our auditory and visual systems we need to see the letters and recognize their corresponding sounds. Visual and auditory skills encompass more than just the ability hear or see correctly. When these skills are compromised, neurodevelopmental programmes such as primitive reflex integration can help address underlying developmental or sensory-motor factors behind  reading abilities. Accurate diagnosis essential, not only for addressing the problem but also for preventing individuals from being labeled for life.

These kids may experience delays in reading compared to their peers, which can also lead to emotional dysregulation.
