title: [Dyslexia].
abstract: The number of students requiring special education has been increasing in Finland all through the 2000s. Reading and writing problems are the most significant learning problems requiring supportive education among pupils of a lower form. Without a fluent ability to read and write a child's availability to information and learning are significantly restricted and the effect extends from social coping to getting on in working life. Although special education is the most important form of rehabilitation for dyslexia, home practice and support play an important role for the student's progress.
