definition: Dyslexia occurs as a result of deficits in understanding speech sounds, and therefore results in problems with accurate and fluent word recognition, poor spelling, and decoding or understanding the sounds that go with written language (International Dyslexia Association, 2003). The disorder is often characterized by poor reading, but good listening ability. [Source: Encyclopedia of School Psychology; Dyslexia]
