How common is dyslexia and other similar language based learning difficulties?
In America, it is estimated that 10% of all males and females entering school each year are dyslexic. In 1990, the United States Department of Education reported that 1,200,000 American school children had dyslexia. None of the statistics included youngsters whose dyslexia had not been recognized or the large number of adults who experienced various language difficulties.
