Dyslexia

While dyslexia is not a characteristic feature of Williams syndrome, individuals with this syndrome may experience reading difficulties due to their cognitive profile. These challenges often stem from weaknesses in visuospatial processing rather than the phonological deficits typically associated with dyslexia. Reading interventions for children with Williams syndrome should be tailored to their unique cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
