Dyslexia is a learning disability with far-reaching effects, and it should be taken seriously. Dyslexia can be characterized as having difficulty reading and comprehending text. Being dyslexic often times makes children feel embarrassed, especially when the differences between them and the rest of their peers are made obvious. Private dyslexia therapy can give children their confidence back and improve their self-esteem, except private dyslexia therapy is not accessible in eastern Mississippi, with only one non-profit dyslexia therapy organization having licensed dyslexia therapists.
