Dyslexia is a neurological difference which can have a significant impact during education and in everyday life. Dyslexia affects some people mildly and others severely, and it can co-occur with other specific learning difficulties. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition. It can affect, for example, the ability to process and remember information, reading and writing skills, and organisational skills.
