YEN.com.gh notes that dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects a person's ability to read, spell, write, and speak.

She has devised a mode of learning that works for her, which includes recording her lectures and listening to the audio for comprehension.
Oladoyin also designs her notes in a way that helps her understand her courses better.
She said making a child repeat a class will not stop dyslexia, adding that parents should pay attention to the disorder.
