Dyslexia SubtypesDyslexia is a neurologically based learning difference that presents a range of word recognition weaknesses that causes reading, spelling, and, in some cases, comprehension challenges.

Students may have mixed dyslexia subtypes with mild to acute skill weaknesses. Experts differ in their view of how many subtypes there are all together.

The Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) is an evaluation program that addresses four specific subtypes:
