Dyslexia is a learning disorder that commonly affects word recognition, spelling, and the ability to match letters to sounds. It is caused by impairment in the brain’s ability to translate images received from the eyes or ears into understandable language. It is not due to mental retardation, brain damage, or a lack of intelligence and should not be taken as laziness, stupidity, or lack of interest. It can definitely be managed through proper intervention and accommodation that IMPACT provides.

Dysgraphia is a term that simply means “difficulty with written tasks.” This may present in handwriting issues, written work assignments or attempting exam papers. Usually, these children are very bright and perform well orally but written work makes it difficult for them to even pass. Children with Dysgraphia or an expressive writing disorder can struggle to construct sentences and paragraphs in a grammatical or logical order, making any form of written composition a difficult task. They experience difficulty with capitalizations, punctuations, tense- verb confusion, and also to put their creative ideas on paper.
