Health Matters: Children's Dyslexia Center of Canton with Vice Chairman Jim Fidler

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability and refers to a group of symptoms, which results in difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading as well as spelling, writing and pronouncing words. Dyslexia affects individuals throughout their lives; however, the impact can change throughout various stages in life. According to the International Dyslexia Association, it is considered a learning disability because dyslexia can make it very difficult for a student to succeed academically in the typical instructional environment. Also,  in its more severe forms, dyslexia can qualify a student for special education, special accommodations or extra support services.
