Dyslexia
What is Dyslexia?
The word dyslexia is a combination of two Greek words, "dys," meaning, hard or poor, and "lexis," that is, speech or words.
How Dyslexia affects a person.
Dyslexia creates a problem in literacy and language skills, working memory, processing matters with speed, the automatic development of skills and other areas of writing, reading and absorbing matter. The individual is usually proficient in other fields, but would require special specific intervention attention regarding the area of the brain that affects the reading and writing skills.
It appears to be an accepted assumption or concept that Dyslexia is a function of reading in reversed order.

Example
Was → saw… 9→6 (reversal problems of letters and words) on---no
The letters ‘p’ and ‘b’ are often mistaken, as is ‘q’ and ‘d’
This problem goes deeper than simply reading letters backwards. Recognizing letters and learning them and their order to make a word creates a problem with dyslectics.

Recognizing the Problem.
When we are aware that a person is smart enough to be able to learn to read, but we "can't" figure out why he doesn't read, we are on the way to understanding and recognizing that there is a problem.
