Dyslexia affects large number of schoolchildren. Approximately 4% of the population suffers from this particular difficulty to learn the written language. Is manifest from the first years of schooling and sometimes suffer from several members of the family, generation after generation. The evidence that has a biological basis is becoming more established and accepted in the scientific community.

The dyslexic child is the "eternal apprentice" that never reaches the domain easily written code that your colleagues get in two or three years of primary education. The feature that is present in all these children is the difficulty to automate the code written, that ability that allows us to quickly recognize most common words in a single glance or that we can achieve remarkable levels of speed and accuracy to read any text, even if its meaning is not entirely accessible to our understanding. Other levels of information processing may be affected, but the nuclear manifestations of this problem affecting the rate and accuracy in reading, writing and spelling, and also understanding what is read.

Although dyslexia is a problem "specific cause"-independent to a certain degree of intelligence, sensory disturbances or personality, its consequences are not specific. The dyslexic child learns to read and write as expected from their personal and environmental conditions but, as a result, does not learn the contents of school subjects. From the third grade of primary education written language is not the object of learning, but the main tool for learning. The renewed efforts and maintained in a dyslexic child can crashing to the evidence of not meeting the minimum standards expected. The demoralization that leads, colored by the personality and environmental circumstances, usually cause the rejection of the school, frustration, apathy or aggression.

The social response to the problem must involve three agents: the specialists who face the specific problem of learning, educational psychologists, which should make the school environment to understand the problem and try to provide technical support and social-and family-that can help prevent the delay in knowledge and provide essential emotional support.

University Hospital Catholic University of Valencia May begins this month an initiative to support families of children with dyslexia. This is a meeting with these parents to provide information and technical support to address the problem. The role of parents is crucial in the emotional aspects of the problem, but it can be definitive in shaping the form of study and get knowledge gaps do not result in their children's school problem is unsolvable.
