What causes dyslexia?

New study looks at whether visual function problems are a cause or consequence of dyslexia. Is it caused by a visual processing dysfunction? That’s been the question for decades. Dyslexia is a common learning difference that makes it difficult to read.

Study results showed intensive tutoring in reading led to improved visual activity. Bottom line, vision issues don’t cause dyslexia… but instead, may be a consequence of dyslexic kids reading less. Researchers say their findings have important implications for the treatment, which should revolve around the skill of reading.
