Correct option is C

Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, spelling, and decoding. Despite having average to above-average intelligence, individuals with dyslexia struggle with reading comprehension and related subjects like spelling, social sciences, and language-based tasks. Since Ravi performs well in math and has adequate writing skills, but faces challenges in reading and spelling, he most likely has dyslexia.
Information Booster:
1. Dyslexia affects approximately 5-10% of the population.
2. It is not related to intelligence levels; many dyslexic individuals are highly intelligent.
3. Early intervention can significantly improve reading and writing skills.
4. Assistive technologies like text-to-speech software help dyslexic learners.
5. Multi-sensory teaching methods (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) are beneficial.
6. Dyslexia is a lifelong condition but can be managed with appropriate strategies.
Additional Knowledge:
(a) Dyscalculia (Maths Disorder): Dyscalculia is a learning disorder affecting math abilities. Individuals with dyscalculia struggle with arithmetic, number sense, and problem-solving. Ravi’s high math grades make this diagnosis unlikely.
(b) Dysgraphia (Writing Disorder): Dysgraphia affects handwriting, fine motor skills, and writing coherence. Individuals with dysgraphia have messy handwriting, difficulty with spacing, and trouble organizing thoughts on paper. Since Ravi’s writing skills are adequate, dysgraphia is not a likely diagnosis.
(d) Dysphasia (Language Disorder): Dysphasia affects language comprehension and expression, typically resulting from brain injury or developmental issues. Individuals have difficulty understanding spoken language or expressing thoughts. Ravi’s case does not show these signs.
