Reading disorders has been widely researched. The existence of dyslexia was once questioned and is now recognised as a specific learning difficulty to read. Research also showed that it affects more than the ability to read and write but displays a range of factors which are specific to the individual. Co-morbidity is the presence of more than one form specific learning difficulty which may be present alongside dyslexia. A response to the counter effects of dyslexia on literacy.
Research indicates that dyslexia affect 1 in 10 persons severely and 4 in 10 with indicators of dyslexia.
