Dyslexia Overview

Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes reading and other language-related tasks difficult. Every person learns at their own pace, so it can be hard to pinpoint if an individual has dyslexia. If a person cannot read or write as well as others, the individual may experience low self-confidence and other mental or behavioral challenges. Fortunately, Hattiesburg Clinic provides dyslexia testing, evaluation and counseling to help those with learning disorders in Mississippi live a more productive and enjoyable life.
