Dyslexia, a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading, is the most common learning disorder that affects both children and adults — including Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, and Anderson Cooper, among many others. Because it is so common, there is a high level of understanding about dyslexia and plenty of strategies for surmounting the challenges it presents. And that’s why we put together this guide that is packed with 40 individual resources for anyone affected by dyslexia.
