Dyslexia is a learning disability that may be passed from parent to child.  A person with dyslexia usually has difficulties in figuring out what a single-word in a sentence is, and may also have problems with writing, handwriting, spelling, and arithmetic, even though the person can be very smart and other otherwise normal in being able to see, hear, and speak.  It varies from minor to severe.  Although it is a life-long condition, people with dyslexia can be helped in many different ways. 

People with dyslexia looking at this page may want to change the font size of the letters with their own web browser.

Even the background color of a page can make reading for dyslexics much harder.  For this page, I have made it possible to change the background color to make it easier for some people to read.
