Prognosis

Specialized help (called remedial instruction) can lead to marked improvement in reading and understanding.

Reading difficulties may persist for life.

DRD may lead to:

• Problems in school, including behavior problems

• Loss of self-esteem

• Reading problems that persist into adulthood, which may affect job performance, particularly if the problem was not addressed early in life
