There are 3 main types of dyslexia. Primary dyslexia is the most common and it involved the dysfunction of the cerebral cortex in the brain. There is variability in the severity of this disorder.  Although there is no cure and does not change with age, individuals who receive the appropriate education still can succeed academically. Primary dyslexia is passed down through generations through genetic mutations. Secondary/ developmental dyslexia is the result of damage to the brain during fetal development. This form of dyslexia declines as the child matures and grows. The third type is trauma dyslexia which occurs after a serious trauma to the brain and injury to the cerebrum, which controls reading and writing. This form of dyslexia is rarely seen in today’s children.

“It does not result from vision or hearing problems. It is not due to mental retardation, brain damage, or a lack of intelligence. The causes of dyslexia vary with the type. In primary dyslexia, much research focuses on the hereditary factors. Researchers have recently identified specific genes identified as possibly contributing to the signs and symptoms of dyslexia.”

Though the causes vary, the main factor is genes inherited from the parents. Primary dyslexia is a hereditary disorder.Recently researchers have discovered specific gene patterns that contribute to the signs of dyslexia.

“Most people associate mixing up letters as the primary symptom of dyslexia. While it is true that children with dyslexia may read the word saw as was, reversing letters is not the only or even the most common symptom of this disorder. Even before they learn to read, children with dyslexia may have difficulty with rhyming and with learning numbers and letters. The child may also be late in learning to talk. “
