  1. not really because dyslexia is a disconnect between what is seen and what is perceived by the brain


  2. No they can't.

  3. anything is possible

  4. No they can not, they may forget the letters early on in learning or they may make a minor mistake and read ahead of themselves but they can not be dyslexic

  5. Since dyslexia only means that there is a specific learning disability relating to being able to read, the answer is a qualified , "Yes." Since the words are stabilized, they will not have trouble with reversals.

    However, some disabilities related to dyslexia can impact them. These include memory deficits and process deficits that make it hard for information to stored and used in the brain.

    Short term memory deficits make it hard for a student to take something into memory and manipulate it shortly after it has been learned. This happens to some sighted and some blind people. These people often have comprehension problems.

    Long term memory deficits - This means drawing information that has been stored for use in novel situations.

    Central process deficits - These deficits cause a student to have trouble sending information from kinesthetic or auditory  processes to the correct areas of the brain.

    Underlying receptive language deficits - Anyone can have these issues. Some people have receptive language deficits, which makes it hard for them to understand what they read.

    And naturally low vision people may have visual memory and visual process deficits.
