Acquired dyslexia is a reading disorder that occurs after an individual has already developed normal reading skills. It typically results from brain injury, stroke, or neurological conditions that affect areas of the brain responsible for language processing. This condition can lead to difficulties in reading, writing, and spelling, despite the person's prior abilities. Unlike developmental dyslexia, which is present from childhood, acquired dyslexia can emerge suddenly and may vary in severity. Treatment often involves speech therapy and specialized educational strategies to help individuals regain their reading skills. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective intervention and support.
