(...)
Dyslexia means a specific learning disability that is
neurobiological in origin. It is characterized at the level of a keen observer as frustration,
withdrawal, anxiety, aversion to homework and schoolwork, underperformance, and
an undoing of the personal sense of ability, psychosomatic symptoms that are
triggered by school-failure to read or perform well at spelling, written
expression or other language tasks, or mixing up right and left hands. Other observable characteristics include difficulties
with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding
abilities.These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the
phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to
other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.
Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and
reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background
knowledge.
