Why can’t people with dyslexia learn to write correctly?

Question

I read that people with dyslexia are as smart as other people and that dyslexia is a genetic problem. I just wonder, if people are capable of launching rockets or creating art masterpieces, why can’t dyslexic people learn how to read and write? Isn’t it just like any other thing you can learn e.g. math?

Answer 1

There is a physical part of your brain that does language processing, and one that does visual processing. You can’t “learn” those into working differently beyond a certain point.
