ABC dEcode® and Dyslexia
The word Dyslexia is derived from the Greek 'dys' meaning 'ill' or 'bad'
and 'lexia' meaning 'words'.
It is a term used to describe the difficulties in learning to read,
which includes decoding (deciphering the printed word) and comprehending
what is written, despite traditional instruction, average intelligence
and an adequate opportunity to learn:
Dyslexia affects from 8%
to 12% of the student population. Within the broader category
of Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia covers about 80% of all sub-types.
Since Dyslexia does not result from any apparent visual or hearing problems,
it can go undetected in the early grades. As a result, very often Dyslexia
is not detected until the child is at least age 8 or older.
Many adults are dyslexic.
