Dyslexia is a disability in language and phonetics, with difficulties in learning and reasoning, affecting around 20% of the worldwide population. It has been a research area worldwide and different techniques have been proposed by researchers to detect developmental dyslexia at an early stage.

Why is it important?
Conventional methods examined dyslexia using physical assessment of the children and analyzing their behavioral aspects over a long period. But it was often time-consuming and has implications such as failing to detect potential cases of dyslexia. Identification of dyslexia particularly in young children is challenging for both parents and teachers because of the signs and symptoms being non-obvious. This results in delayed diagnosis which leads to the detriment of the student, causing them to lose critical years of learning.
Perspectives
An accurate detection at an early stage and with proper educational intervention, the long-term effects of dyslexia can be suppressed and the children can read and write normally in the future
