most of people don't know anything about Dyslexia. Whenever we see someone suffering from dyslexia, we think him/her as mentally unbalanced or retarded or stupid.
It is related to certain genes that control brain development. So it can also be genetic or sometimes caused by brain injury and premature birth.
Difference between Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia-

Here we will discuss only about Dyslexia.
In short - Dyslexia affects the ability to read, write or speak.
Dyslexia Is NOT an illness
Dyslexia is a learning disability that effects a person's spoken and written language. It does not effects or reflect the individual's intelligence or willingness to learn.
Dyslexia can be difficult to identify before the child enters school , but some early signs may be an indication.
Common Signs to Identify Dyslexia

- Late development of speech
- Illegible writing
- Difficulty with number
- Inability to follow multiple instructions
- Confuses letters with a similar shape, such as b and d.
- Slow to establish a dominant hand, i.e. right or left handed.
- Difficulty putting thoughts onto paper
- Seems to daydream or zone out when in a classroom or meeting scenario

Treatments Of Dyslexia
Unfortunately, Dyslexia is a condition that has to be dealt with throughout life as there is no specific medication to correct the neurological anomaly. Dyslexia can be identified at an early age and age-appropriate treatment can increase success,
Starting a child's treatment at an early age can prevent reading disability in the first few years of schooling, although this may not be so easy. An essential part of treatment as a parent is to educate yourself about the condition and stay positive.
Understand that it takes time for doctors to diagnose Dyslexia.
Currently, no medication treat Dyslexia. Instead, most children with dyslexia can succeed in school with tutoring or a special education program. Emotional support also plays an important role.
