Which of the following statements about dyslexia is most accurate?
  1. Most of the children who are dyslexic also have below average intelligence.
  2. Dyslexic children frequently have difficulty interacting socially with other children.
  3. The presence of emotional problems makes the symptoms of dyslexia worse.
  4. There are no known neurobiological conditions contributing to the development of dyslexia.
Explanation
Answer: B - Dyslexic children frequently have difficulties interacting socially with their peers. This difficulty is not what either causes the dyslexia or makes it worse, but is an obstacle to making friends. These children have trouble finding the right words and may stammer or take too much time to say something. Their inability to communicate effectively leaves them feeling awkward, uncomfortable, and frustrated. Dyslexic children do not necessarily have low intelligence.
