==Classification== {{Main|Pure alexia}} Dyslexia is divided into developmental and acquired forms.<ref>Oxford English Dictionary. 3rd ed. "[https://oed.com/view/Entry/331223 dyslexia, ''n'']. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2012 ("a learning disability specifically affecting the attainment of literacy, with difficulty esp. in word recognition, spelling, and the conversion of letters to sounds, occurring in a child with otherwise normal development, and now usually regarded as a neurodevelopmental disorder with a genetic component.")</ref> Acquired dyslexia occurs subsequent to neurological insult, such as [[traumatic brain injury]] or [[stroke]]. People with acquired dyslexia exhibit some of the signs or symptoms of the developmental disorder, but require different assessment strategies and treatment approaches.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Woollams|first=Anna M.|date=19 January 2014|title=Connectionist neuropsychology: uncovering ultimate causes of acquired dyslexia|journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences|language=en|volume=369|issue=1634|pages=20120398|doi=10.1098/rstb.2012.0398|issn=0962-8436|pmc=3866427|pmid=24324241}}</ref> ''Pure alexia'', also known as ''agnosic alexia'' or ''pure word blindness'', is one form of [[Alexia (condition)|alexia]] which makes up "the peripheral dyslexia" group.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Coslett HB |title=Acquired dyslexia |journal=Semin Neurol |volume=20 |issue=4 |pages=419β26 |year=2000 |pmid=11149697 |doi=10.1055/s-2000-13174 |s2cid=36969285 }}</ref>
