This is not the case at all. Dyslexia is a neurological condition which some people are born with, comparable to color blindness. It simply means that certain circuits in the brain do not operate in the usual way, and cause learning difficulties – to a greater or lesser degree – particularly with spelling, reading and number work. A dyslexic person has to learn alternative approaches to learning the things which most people take in quite easily. These alternative approaches are often referred to as ‘multi-sensory’, and involve the use of all the child’s senses – especially visual techniques and physical movement – to help remember letters and spellings.
