A member asked:
If someone once had dyslexia in middle school, would they ever be able to read like someone without dyslexia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Dyslexia is not a developmental lag. It is a persistent disorder. It is not cured but will improve up to a point. On average readers with dyslexia will not read as well as those without.
