The modern definition for “dyslexia” describes it as a reading problem in the absence of any obvious reason, such as being deaf, blind, physically handicapped, developmental delayed, English as a second language, or simply lacking proper educational instruction. It is not a diagnosis of a single specific condition. It is now a general term that can be used to describe a large number of different conditions that can affect reading in different ways.
