When it comes to the aspect of the condition dyslexia there are some particular reasons in general why it is important to say dyslexia along with supporting its strengths. For the condition dyslexia itself it is made up of some unexpected difficulties in fluent reading as well as specific patterns for writing, spelling, and sometimes even math in general.

This article highlights difficulties facing those who have dyslexia or/and dysgraphia, and how it can cause misunderstandings of certain disability/difficulty.

With the technology now it is actually possible to characterize dyslexia itself further because it is possible to identify specific brain differences before children actually start reading as well as other brain network differences.
