Reading Disability

A condition that impacts a person's ability to read and develop literacy skills. Reading disabilities encompass a wide range of conditions including dyslexia, alexia, and difficulties arising from intellectual disabilities, cognitive impairments, sensory disabilities, or language differences. The Simple View of Reading model suggests reading difficulties can stem from challenges in decoding (often associated with dyslexia), language comprehension, or both. Reading disabilities affect educational, professional, and social participation.
