Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects reading skills. Individuals with dyslexia have difficulty matching letters to sounds and recognizing words. This is consistent with Jennifer's symptoms. Spatial difficulties and whole-language interference are not related to reading difficulties. ADHD may cause difficulties with focus and attention, but alone does not account for the specific reading difficulties that Jennifer is experiencing.
