What is the outlook for dyslexia?

When dyslexia remains undiagnosed, children struggle to succeed in school. Identifying dyslexia by second grade gives children more time to find different ways to learn and read.

Misconceptions about dyslexia have led some to believe that people with dyslexia are not smart. Although untrue, this assumption can have negative effects on children. A child with dyslexia may suffer self-esteem issues or believe they are not intelligent. Positive support from parents and teachers can help a child overcome these obstacles.
