Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dyslexia?
No, but it is often misdiagnosed as dyslexia or ADHD because it makes reading difficult.

Reading glasses with prisms can help symptoms, but they don't cure the underlying muscle coordination problem like therapy does.
Does it affect adults?
Yes, it can persist into adulthood or develop after a concussion/TBI.
