Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty (SpLD) that primarily affects reading, writing, and spelling. Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills. People with dyslexia may struggle with reading fluency, accurate spelling, and processing written information, even though their intelligence and creativity are often unaffected or even enhanced.

Dyslexia can also impact memory, organisational skills, and time management. With the right support, including tailored teaching strategies, assistive technology, and positive encouragement, individuals with dyslexia can develop effective coping mechanisms and excel in their education, careers, and personal lives. Recognising and understanding dyslexia is crucial for creating inclusive environments where people with dyslexia can thrive.
