People with dyslexia should not be considered lacking intelligence, vision impaired, or lazy. These people simply have a neurological disorder that disables and slows the brain's ability to process information correctly. Neurological research has found clear evidence of biophysical and structural abnormalities inside the brain of those affected by dyslexia. A scientist has found that people with dyslexia are most commonly deficient in parts of the left hemisphere which involves the brain's ability to read. A non impaired readers brain shows that the brain is able to articulate, complete word analysis, and integrate word form, while someone with dyslexia most commonly shows just the ability to articulate. This can vary by person, as some people with dyslexia may struggle in other areas other than this.  Neurological studies and experiments are still being conducted today on dyslexia to hopefully provide us with an even deeper understanding of dyslexia in the near future. 

What surprised me the most about my research on dyslexia was how students with dyslexia in the public are accommodated, treated, and understood. Many parents expect that public schools will provide for their dyslexic children with free evaluations and therapy. These parents often delay getting their kids help because they are waiting for the school to take action first. Unfortunately, this approach is extremely ineffective and can cause a big impact on the child. In fact, 52% of teachers say that they haven’t received any training on dyslexia, meanwhile, on average, three children in every classroom either struggle with dyslexia or some form or literacy issues. This was extremely striking to me because problems with dyslexia most often occur in the classroom when students are required tasks such as reading, writing, and listening. 

In conclusion, dyslexia is a very misunderstood and overlooked problem that affects hundreds of children, students, and adults every day. Just because someone is dyslexic does not mean they simply lack the ability or want to read. This is a neurological condition. Over half of the percent of teachers have not been trained on dyslexia, meanwhile, the chances are very high that they have had a dyslexic child in the there classroom before. This needs to change and more programs, money, and support should be provided for children with dyslexia.
