Learning differences, including dyslexia, are neurological differences that affect how the brain receives, processes, stores and responds to information.  Approximately 6-8% of school age children have learning differences, which continue throughout adulthood.  This applies to children of at least average intelligence who struggle to acquire the basic academic skills needed for success at school and work.  Learning differences do not reflect lack of motivation or intelligence.  Some of the most creative and famous people in all walks of life credit their success to the perspective they gained from minds that see the world through a different lens.  But just as left-handed people have to adapt to a right-handed world, people with learning differences need to develop strategies to navigate a world defined around a more normative range of skills.
