Dyslexia
Dyslexia accounts for 80% of all learning disabilities. In 2016, the Dyslexia Association of India shared that nearly 35 million children in India were diagnosed with dyslexia. Unfortunately, not much has changed since then. Millions still go undiagnosed because there is very little awareness in India about this condition. People often assume children with learning disabilities are less intelligent or just stubborn. In reality, these children struggle to perform well in school or follow basic instructions. At Continua Kids, we aim to change this by spreading awareness, offering early diagnosis, and providing the right dyslexia treatment to help children reach their full potential.

What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a condition where a child finds it hard to learn language.
Causes and Symptoms of Dyslexia can vary person to person. This can affect their ability to:Read
- Read
- Write
- Pronounce words
- Spell
- Calculate
These challenges may last a lifetime. But with early support and the dyslexia treatment, things can improve. Children with dyslexia often face more than 15 functional challenges. These can include poor focus, body image concerns, weak memory, and more.
Types of Dyslexia
Here are the most common types of dyslexia:
- Rapid Naming: Your child may take a little longer to name things like letters, numbers, or colors, it just doesn’t come to them right away.
- Surface Dyslexia (Dyseidetic Dyslexia): The child has trouble remembering familiar words or learning new ones.
- Phonological Dyslexia (Dysphonetic Dyslexia): The child struggles to sound out letters or words. They find it hard to connect the way words are written with how they’re pronounced.
- Visual Dyslexia: The child faces visual processing problems. They may see letters as blurry, jumbled, or reversed. This makes it tough to spell or read.
- Double Deficit: The child has trouble in two areas, naming speed and recognizing word sounds. This kind of dyslexia makes it hard for kids to sound out words and name things quickly, like letters or colors.
Causes and Symptoms of Dyslexia
Dyslexia is often inherited and can run in families. It may also develop due to differences in brain development, especially in areas that handle reading and language. In some cases, it may be linked to early brain injury or issues during pregnancy. This isn’t your child’s fault, and it’s not because someone didn’t teach them properly. They’re trying their best. Wondering if your child might have dyslexia? Look for these signs:
- Speech delays in early childhood
- Confusion with directions
- Gets easily distracted
- Can’t create rhyming words in later childhood
- Lacks fluency in speaking or reading
- Makes grammar mistakes or mishears sounds
- Trouble with coordination or balance
- Struggles with math (dyscalculia)
