Dyslexia can have a profound impact on a student’s ability to read and write. Without these invaluable language skills, students with dyslexia can experience avoidable and lifelong educational, social, and economic problems. Many times, because of the fact of not being able to do these things, one’s self-esteem can be compromised resulting in behaviors such as anger, frustration, avoidance, to name a few.
In Pakistan, the prevalence rate of dyslexia among children is 15–20% which means that about 12 million children are in need of help. According to a study based in Lahore Pakistan, students in public schools have never been diagnosed with dyslexia before due to a lack of awareness and assessment tools for diagnosis in schools.
