Dyslexia comes from the Greek "dyslexia", which is made up of the prefix "dis" which means "bad" "with difficulty", plus the entry "λέξις" or "lexis" which means "speech" or "diction" and the suffix "Ia" refers to "quality." Dyslexia is described as a syndrome that makes it difficult to learn and understand reading, calculating or writing, which is often related to disorders of attention and motor coordination. In other words, dyslexia refers to the difficulty, inconvenience, or problem to memorize or distinguish the letters or a set of them, poor structure of sentences, lack of order and rhythm in placement, among others, which is manifested both in the reading as well as writing.
According to the International Dyslexia Association or in English International Dyslexia Association, this syndrome is a specific learning difficulty whose origin is neurobiological. It occurs in the learning of reading and writing, manifesting certain difficulties in the process of reading and writing, in addition to spelling and in general in those processes that are linked to the decoding of the symbols created for communication. Most of the studies carried out on dyslexia show that it is genetically transmitted, therefore, usually in a certain family there are several cases of dyslexia
People with dyslexia can learn the process of reading and writing, but with an appropriate methodology for them, that is, according to their different way of understanding and perceiving the world of symbols. Early diagnosis is extremely important to prevent side effects that would be much more difficult to treat, such as depression and progressive inhibition, and thus be able to act as early as possible in the learning process of these people.
