Common Causes And Risk Factors For Dyspraxia And Overlapping Conditions

Dyslexia

Also known as reading disorder, dyslexia is a type of learning disorder that impacts reading, writing, and spelling skills. This condition, which often overlaps with dyspraxia, often becomes apparent during early childhood. Patients may have difficulty learning numbers, and they could misspell words. They may have trouble with naming and recalling letters, numbers, and colors, and some patients with dyslexia also have speech delays. Dyslexia can cause individuals to read well below their grade and age level, and they may have difficulty seeing the similarities and differences in words and letters. Dyslexic patients might spend longer than their peers on homework that involves reading or writing. Dyslexia is treated with educational techniques. For example, the patient may use their finger to trace letters and words, and listening to an audio recording of a book or lecture may be recommended. In the United States, patients with dyslexia are given an individual education plan at school so heir educational needs can be met.
