What is strephosymbolia?

Strephosymbolia is a condition where individuals have difficulty understanding the orientation of printed letters and numbers. This can result in difficulty with reading and spelling. It is often associated with dyslexia, but can also occur on its own. Some researchers believe that it is caused by a problem in visual processing in the brain. Treatment for strephosymbolia may include interventions such as visual perceptual training, educational therapy, and specialized reading instruction.
