As many as 20% ofall children in the United States suffer from some form of the learningdisorder called dyslexia.

Experts on dyslexiasay that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia useinformation in a different way.One of the world's great thinkers and

scientists,AlbertEinstein was dyslexic.Einstein said that he never thought in words the way thatmost people do.He said that he thought in pictures instead.The American

inventor ThomasEdison was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United Statesmore than 80 years ago.Many years passed before doctors

discovered thatpersons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors foundthat the brains of persons with dyslexia are different.In most people,the left

side of the brain一 the part that controls language islarger than the right side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brainis bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes

thisdifference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in malesthan in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.Noone knows

the cause ofdyslexia,but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changesin a baby's body long before it is born.They are trying to find ways to teachpersons

with dyslexia.Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teachinghelp.After they have solved their problems with language,they often showthemselves to

be especiallyintelligent or creative.One out of fiveAmerican children suffers from dyslexia.
