What is the meaning of dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that affects the way a person processes written and spoken language. It is not linked to intelligence but rather to differences in how the brain handles information related to reading, spelling, and writing.

Many children and adults with dyslexia are bright and capable but need tailored support to learn effectively. In Australia, dyslexia is widely recognised within the education system, and supports such as assistive technology, tutoring, and therapy can make a big difference.

Early identification and intervention are key to building confidence and lifelong learning skills.
