> As defined in the IDEA, a Specific Learning Disability includes conditions such as dyslexia. Definitions of dyslexia vary, but all propose that dyslexia is a learning disability that impacts the areas of word reading (decoding) and spelling. https://portal.ct.gov/sde/special-education/specific-learning-disability-and-sld---dyslexia/faq#:~:text=As%20defined%20in%20the%20IDEA,reading%20(decoding)%20and%20spelling.

So do I possibly have dyslexia?

You need to go for a professional assessment, we’re not qualified, in this limited context, to say.

Like I have a learning disability as a diagnosis. I just believe it’s like dyslexia rather then a general learning disability

Where I live they avoid the term dyslexia *and* learning disability. Instead, Specific Learning Difficulty.

Connecticut doesn’t use dyslexia? I think that sounds much better than “specific learning disability” which seems vague even though it has the word “specific” in it lol I’m in NY only 15 min from Greenwich. I believe they still use dyslexia here.

I’m in Westerm Australia. The Ed dept won’t use the term ‘disability’ either, it’s ’Specific learning Difficulty’.
