Dyslexia Facts

About 10% of the population have some form of dyslexia. About 4% are severely dyslexic, including some 375,000 schoolchildren.

Dyslexia causes difficulties in learning to read, write and spell.

Short-term memory, mathematics, concentration, personal organisation and sequencing may be affected.

Dyslexia is biological in origin and tends to run in families, but environmental factors may also contribute to it.

Dyslexia affects all kinds of people regardless of intelligence, race or social class.

The effects of dyslexia can largely be overcome by skilled specialist teaching and the use of compensatory strategies.

The earlier the intervention the better the outcome.
