Who was the first person diagnosed with dyslexia?
Identified by Oswald Berkhan in 1881, [3] the term ‘dyslexia’ was later coined in 1887 by Rudolf Berlin, an ophthalmologist practicing in Stuttgart, Germany.[4] He used the term to refer to a case of a young boy who had a severe impairment in learning to read and write in spite of showing typical intellectual and physical abilities in all other respects.
