What is Dyslexia?
Please take into account that the following is information based from their perspective, NOT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.
(an excerpt from NINDS, NINDS is part of the
National Institutes of
Health)
Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read. These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics among people with dyslexia are difficulty with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds) and/or rapid visual-verbal responding.
U.S. Department of Education
After some extensive research, it would appear that the Department of Education treats dyslexia as a disability. Their websites consistently point links to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and No Child Left Behind initiative (NCLB)
