From the Paper:

"Unfortunately, scientific inquiries and long-term observations on literacy skills of dyslexics fail to point out the main cause of the condition. The causes have been often linked to a number of unfavorable conditions involving mental capacities and functions. Some of these are problems in memory storage capacity, processing, and retrieval. Many also point out that difficulties and sequencing and hand and eye and ear coordination also heightens the risks for dyslexia."
