The term dyslexia is best defined as?
The word. dyslexia, is of Greek origin and is made up of two parts: dys, meaning bad or abnormal and lex, meaning words.
Dyslexia is a type of language processing disability often manifested as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling. Evidence suggests that it is a result of a difference in how the brain processes written and/or verbal language. It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as deficiencies in intelligence, non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction.
Dyslexia is most commonly characterized by difficulties with learning how to decode at the word level, to spell, and to read accurately and fluently. Dyslexic individuals often have difficulty "breaking the code" of sound-letter association (the alphabetic principle), and they may also reverse or transpose letters when writing or confuse letters such as b, d, p, q, especially in childhood. However, dyslexia is not a visual problem that involves reading letters or words backwards or upside down, nor are such reversals a defining characteristic of dyslexia.
Dyslexia is linked to the left hemisphere of the brain and is caused by inefficiencies in language processing areas. It may be a genetic disorder.

What are the symptoms of dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia is a condition you are born with 90% of the time. It doesn't affect IQ in any way. This is a condition that affects how your cerebellums work, leaving these parts of the brain out of sync. The cerebellums are in charge of the movement between the two side's of the body and spatial awareness. It is normally the left cerebellum that is the weak one, and dyspraxia affects more males than females.
From a young age (0-14 years old) it can/does cause the following:
- poor hand to eye co-ordination
- problems with balance, perception, spatial awareness
- problems with posture
- difficulties with using buttons (or any other two handed task involving timing between the left and right hands)
- difficulties in distinguishing between a dominant hand for two hand task such as eating with a knife and fork
- problems with writing (down to poor pen grip child may also have problems with organizing words and also keeping the writing the same size and in straight lines)
- Children with this condition may also have problems with sport and many other group activities (a dyspraxic person can feel most alone when they are in a group).
- may have problem with fixation of thoughts often when stressed/pushed for speed (this can lead to a dyspraxic person being misunderstood as being argumentative)
- can have clumsy gait or over-exaggerated movement (usually when running or walking along with many others)
- can have a very short attention span and weak concentration
- can also be late at achieving goals (crawling, walking, talking, riding a bike, etc.)
- They can also become very confused, agitated, and withdrawn (child may not know why and will get more distressed because of this).
- Many with dyspraxia suffer from bad short term memory.
The severity of dyslexia depends on the person. Some people will have mild dyslexia and only face some challenges, others can have very severe dyslexia.
In severe cases reading and writing can be extremely difficult.
