People who suffer from dyslexia can hardly decipher the text or not at all. The meaning of the word dyslexia has a Greek origin and is composed of the words dys which means ¿difficult¿ and lexis which can be translated into "language". Dyslexia means to have difficulties with a language referred especially to written words. Dyslexia is a learning disability that negatively influences the learners reading and spelling ability regardless the persons intelligence and without any sensory or neurological deficits. It can be distinguished between acquired and developmental dyslexia. When a person has been able to read and write and lost this ability due to brain injury, this type is called acquired dyslexia. Developmental dyslexia manifests even before a child is able to read and write and it inhibits the development of these abilities. Developmental dyslexia is listed in the international classifications of diseases, mental disorders and related health problems. According to the European Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is distributed worldwide, independent of language and culture. About 9-12% of the world population suffer from dyslexia.
