Inspiration
Dyslexia is one of the most common learning disabilities, affecting about 5-10% of the population worldwide. Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that primarily affects reading, spelling, and writing abilities. It impacts the way the brain processes language, making it challenging for individuals to decode words, recognize spelling patterns, and understand written text.
