What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a developmental reading disorder that is caused by the brain's inability to process graphic symbols.

At times parents may think that this might be caused my a vision problem or other health problems. Prior to having a medical professional rule this information out, it may be helpful that you have your son/daughter evaluated for a pyschoeducational test and a pyschological assessment. It is at that time that a diagnosis may be made regarding the presence or absence of dyslexia.

If your student does have dyslexia, there are many different strategies and learning systems that are available to help your student learn. Contact me at 404-964-8533 if you would like to discuss your situation.
