HOUSTON — Dyslexia is a learning disability that can hinder overall academic achievement by affecting reading skills, which are essential for all subjects. For those with dyslexia, a paragraph that appears normal may look jumbled or incomplete.
However, having dyslexia does not preclude academic success. Many celebrities, including Tom Cruise, Octavia Spencer, Anderson Cooper, and Magic Johnson, have overcome the challenges of dyslexia to achieve great things. The key to turning potential setbacks into triumphs often lies in the right support and intervention.
In Houston, there is a literacy crisis, with one-third of adults struggling with functional literacy. This is where the Neuhaus Education Center plays a crucial role. Dr. Tracy Weeden recently appeared on Great Day Houston to explain how the center positively impacts individuals of all ages, both academically and emotionally.
