What Causes Dyslexia? Understanding Disorientation and Dyslexic Perception

What if everything you thought you knew about dyslexia was wrong? In 1982, Ron Davis conducted a groundbreaking experiment that proved dyslexia isn't caused by brain damage or malfunction—it's the result of disorientation, a natural brain function that affects how we perceive the world.
