Abstract

Dyslexia, a complex neurological condition affecting reading and language processing, is intricately tied to variations in brain structure and function. This article explores the neurological underpinnings of dyslexia, emphasizing phonological, visual, and attention-related impairments. Furthermore, the analysis highlights various types of dyslexia—phonological, surface, rapid automatized naming, and visual—while addressing their neurological correlations. It also investigates the relationship between dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions, such as autism and ADHD, focusing on the neurological overlap and differences. To mitigate the challenges associated with dyslexia, advanced technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and eye-tracking are discussed for their diagnostic and intervention potential. These tools allow for immersive assessments, personalized interventions, and dynamic text adjustments tailored to dyslexic individuals’ needs. The article also delves into the systemic barriers to dyslexia diagnosis and intervention, advocating for insurance coverage reforms and alternative financial tools like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and ABLE accounts. By providing a comprehensive overview of dyslexia’s neurological and technological dimensions, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the condition and explores how emerging innovations can address both diagnostic and intervention gaps.
