Dyslexia is a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence. This reading disorder was in 1881 but the term Dyslexia was created by Rudolf Berlin. When a person has dyslexia their brain processes longer to the necessary steps to make connections. Dyslexia affects 40 million American children and adults , also people of all ethnic backgrounds. A person 's native language can play an important role because they become familiar with pronunciation of words. A language where there is a clear connection between how a word is written and how it sounds, and consistent grammatical rules, can be easier for a person with mild to moderate

70-80% of people with poor reading skills are most likely to have dyslexic. One in five students of the population, has a language based learning disability. Nearly the same percentage of males and females have dyslexia. There is no exact cause of Dyslexia, it just so happen to genetically passed down. The National Center for Learning Disabilities says that dyslexia is a neurological and often genetic condition that can be passed down in families. 40 percent of the siblings of a person with Dyslexia might have similar reading impairments. A child with Dyslexia is not the result of poor teaching, instruction, or upbringing. This reading disability does not stop people from understanding complex, in many cases the person would just need more time to work through the information. Research has proved that many people with Dyslexia struggled with reading and writing in highschool and college, but was every successful in College and in their desired work …show more content…
Studies have been conducted to show the structural differences in the brain between dyslexia and non-dyslexic people. Booth and Burman found that people with dyslexia have less gray matter in the left parietotemporal area than non-dyslexics. Since gray matter processing information, having less gray matter in the parietotemporal area could lead to problems processing the sound structure of language. In 2005, researchers found that many people with dyslexia have less white matter than average readers. White matter is responsible for transferring information around the brain, having less white matter could result in the regions not communicating with one another. Hemispherical asymmetry on going research shows that right-handed dyslexics pattern of asymmetry in the other direction, meaning the right side of the brain is bigger than the left side. Ongoing research says the size differences are affecting a person’s reading and spelling abilities. There is a lot of neurological deformities components that contribute to the effect on people with
