Roughly 85% of children diagnosed with learning difficulties have a primary problem with reading
and related language skills.
Most reading disabilities are neurodevelopmental in nature.
Neurodevelopmental problems don’t go away, but they can be managed.
Most children with reading disabilities can become proficient readers and can learn strategies for
success in school.
