Dyslexia as a subject of modern scientific research

This paper examines modern approaches to dyslexia as a specific impairment in the ability to read and understand written text, in which a person experiences difficulty perceiving letters, syllables and words. The analysis was conducted by the parent of a dyslexic child, who, on the one hand, expressed a desire to understand the problem of a non-expert in this field, and on the other, a desire to help parents of the same kind. It is noted that, according to modern approaches, children with dyslexia (in the absence of other disabilities) have intact intelligence, which is within the normal range and often even above average. They are absolutely normal in terms of their intellectual development and general health. Dyslexia is simply a peculiarity of brain function, not a sign of any abnormality. Children with dyslexia successfully learn, develop their talents, achieve high results in various fields, and become full members of society with the right approach. Their creative potential is often more highly developed than that of their peers. Both teachers and parents of children with dyslexia need to understand that dyslexia is not a sign of laziness or a reluctance to learn, does not make a child “inferior', and merely requires a special approach to learning. It can be accompanied by unique abilities in other areas. With the right support and understanding from adults, children with dyslexia can achieve significant success and fully realize their potential.
