📋Overview
This condition primarily involves difficulties with phonological processing, which affects the brain's ability to connect written letters with their corresponding spoken sounds. These neurological differences may lead to challenges with reading fluency and accuracy that often persist despite adequate classroom instruction.
Clinical observation identifies this learning disorder as a lifelong state that remains distinct from an individual's general intelligence or sensory capabilities. It is the preferred clinical term for reading-related processing deficits formerly known as word blindness or reading disability.
