The most commonly held view and perception of dyslexia is how it relates to difficulties with reading and spelling. These difficulties are in fact readily observable characteristics of dyslexia. Many children, however, display such difficulties in literacy, but not all are dyslexic. It is important, therefore, to present a comprehensive view of the characteristics and challenging behaviors of dyslexia. The present paper reviews on challenging behaviors, characteristics and the factors affecting dyslexia.

Abstract


The most commonly held view and perception of dyslexia is how it relates to difficulties with reading and spelling. These difficulties are in fact readily observable characteristics of dyslexia. Many children, however, display such difficulties in literacy, but not all are dyslexic. It is important, therefore, to present a comprehensive view of the characteristics and challenging behaviors of dyslexia. The present paper reviews on challenging behaviors, characteristics and the factors affecting dyslexia.
