Hello! My brother has a son with dyslexia. He was diagnosed this disorder few months ago and my brother still didn’t do anything about his treatment. When I try to talk to him about it he says that his son is going to play football and he doesn’t need to read well for that. I am really angry. What happend if dyslexia is untreated?
