The word "dyslexia" comes from the Greek, meaning difficulty with words or language.  It is a difficulty in learning to read and write - particularly in learning to spell correctly and to express thoughts on paper.  It can also involve difficulties with right and left and following instructions.  The symptoms are diverse and do not always occur together in the same person.

Dyslexia is not the result of low intelligence, although someone of low intelligence can also be dyslexic.  The most distinctive feature of dyslexia is that a child's reading and writing do not measure up to his/her all round intellectual ability.
