Developmental learning disorder with impairment in reading, or developmental dyslexia, is a neurobiological difficulty, chronical and with a genetic component, that affects reading functionality and that, because of its educational, emotional and social consequences, constitutes a public health problem that deserves special health and educational care, for whose approach it is essential to know the size of the affected population. To carry out an estimate of the prevalence of dyslexia in Panama City, an individualized assessment of children of an intentional sample of 216 students from 4th to 6th grades of Primary belonging to public and private schools was carried out. A prevalence of 5.56% of dyslexia was found, with no relevant differences between the sexes and between the public/particular education system. The results are related to those of other similar studies conducted with Spanish language participants and the proportions found of dyslexia subtypes are discussed.
