ABSTRACT: Dyslexia is a specific reading disorder. It is common childhood disorder affecting around 5% of school aged children. The main deficits of dyslexia include inability to process sensory input (i.e., acoustic information) that comes into the nervous system rapidly, and an impaired reading ability. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge. The dyslexia is associated with alteration of several biological levels like genetic, biochemical, physiological, cognitive levels.
