Dyslexia is a lifelong condition. Early identification and treatment are key to helping children with dyslexia succeed academically and in life.
Treatment typically involves employing educational techniques to improve reading and writing skills. A multi-sensory approach, involving hearing, seeing and touching simultaneously, is often effective for teaching children with dyslexia.
Formal assessment for dyslexia is recommended after a child reaches six to seven years of age. For younger children showing potential signs of dyslexia, enrolling in reading programmes prior to formal assessment can be beneficial.
