According to The International Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. It is neither a weakness in intelligence nor a vision problem. Reading and spelling often prove difficult for someone with dyslexia.  Dyslexic children and adults may even excel at speaking and oral language. Some may have the ability to understand information they hear, yet are unable to read it.

The Learning Lab staff offers assessment and tutoring for dyslexic children and adults.
