Dyslexia is not just a learning difficulty affecting reading and writing; it can be related to difficulty processing and remembering information such as phonological processing, rapid naming, working memory, processing speed, and the autonomic development of skills.1
Up to 10% of the population is estimated to have dyslexia. The newer term ‘neurodivergent’ is postulated to be the wider term, encompassing having cognitive functioning different from what is seen as ‘normal’,2 and it includes dyslexia.
