Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that makes reading, interpreting words, letters, and other symbols difficult. See how Microsoft is helping those who suffer from it.
Dyslexia affects five to 10-percent of the world's population with more than an estimated one in five children affected in the U.S. Dyslexia does not affect intelligence. Renowned physicist Albert Einstein had dyslexia. Pop culture also addressed the stigma of Dyslexia when fictional character Theo Huxtable from the popular 80's sitcom The Cosby Show was diagnosed with the condition.
Dyslexia impacts men and women equally and is found among all demographics and across all social-economic levels. It has a more profound impact, however, in low social-economic communities resulting in higher reading failure rates due to insufficient support. Many school districts don't have the resources or (in my experience as a special education advocate) prefer not to tackle Dyslexia due to the cost of supporting them if the disability is acknowledged.
