Dyslexia Fact #1: \u00a0Dyslexia is not a vision problem and cannot be remediated by color overlays or vision therapy. \u00a0Sure, those may help, but for true dyslexia, an intensive remediation is necessary. \u00a0People with dyslexia see things the way people without dyslexia do, therefore if vision problems are suspected, they need to be ruled out or remediated before a diagnosis of dyslexia can be made.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
