![]() Some people learned to tie their shoes by reciting an old rhyme, some learned it by following instructions, while some simply figured things out on their own. They still have the ability to read, write, and learn, albeit a bit differently than others.Ĭonsider when you were first taught to tie your own shoes. A dyslexic person’s mental, sensory, or mobility functions work differently they are not hindered by the condition. Instead, dyslexia is defined as a difference in learning. In this regard, dyslexia is not a disability as none of the aforementioned factors is associated with it. These results only show that there are key differences in the subjects’ behaviour but that these do not provide any solid proof of a learning disability.Īt the same time, dyslexia does not fit the definition of “disability”, which is referred to as a condition caused by an accident, trauma, genetics, or a disease that might limit or restrict a person’s mental, sensory, or mobility capabilities. In fact, a 2018 article published by the Brain Sciences Journal noted that all relevant evidence gathered from neuroimaging studies only proved correlational differences. However, recent scientific studies have shown no evidence of any neurobiological abnormalities in major cases of dyslexia. The 2002 definition by the International Dyslexia Association, as well as by numerous previous researches, assumed that dyslexia was caused by a neurobiological abnormality or disease, making it a “disability”. Dyslexic people are intellectually capable.Īt first, dyslexia was considered a disability because of what society thought it was. Dyslexia is not a disabilityĭyslexia should not be categorized as a disability because it shows a difference in learning. In reality, dyslexia is not a disability, so we should not be calling it such. One of the most common misconceptions about dyslexia is that it is a learning disability rather than a specific learning difference. ![]() If there is one curious thing about dyslexia, it is the fact that society still needs to be educated about it despite the enormity of literature on the subject. ![]()
