Dyslexia refers to the difficulty in recognizing and processing graphic symbols and words despite normal intellectual functions.  This disorder is usually manifested at school age.  Dyslexia is also characterized with the inclination to read and write letters in reverse order and having illegible penmanship.  The main cause of dyslexia remains unknown, and this disorder is three times most commonly manifested in boys than in girls.  On the bright side, dyslexics perform at an above-average level on non-verbal intelligence tests.  Dyslexia is best treated with consistent reading instruction.
