Abstract :
Dyslexia has been investigated in various studies that confirmed the differences in brain anatomy, organization and functioning between normal and dyslexic subjects. In this paper, the latest brain imaging techniques, as well as encephalogram reveal the functional and structural cerebral anomalies of persons and address neurological differences in the brain of dyslexia children is discussed. The recommended technique to diagnose dyslexia in children at an early stage is proposed at the end of the paper. The advances in neurological and cognitive researches have allowed the physiological and cognitive development, and the causes that obstruct the learning process of children to be studied to provide solutions for dyslexic children to master the basic knowledge and skills.
