Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty, of neurological origin, characterised by difficulties with the accuracy and/or fluency of word reading and by weak spelling skills.
There are several warning signs, such as difficulty learning to read, slow reading with errors, and difficulty with writing. We recommend a specialist assessment for an accurate diagnosis.
Dyslexia is not an illness, so it has no "cure". However, with the right intervention it is possible to improve reading and writing skills significantly.
Although some signs can be identified earlier, a formal diagnosis is generally made from age 7–8, once the child has had formal exposure to reading instruction.
Yes, dyslexia is a lifelong condition. Many adults were not diagnosed in childhood and benefit from assessment and intervention even in adulthood.
Intervention is based on systematic phonological training, using scientifically proven methods such as the Phonomimic Method. Sessions are individualised and adapted to each person's needs.
The length depends on the severity of the difficulties and the response to intervention. Typically, several months of regular, consistent work are needed.
