Developmental dyslexia is a condition or learning disability which causes difficulty with reading and writing. Its standard definition is a difficulty in reading and writing in spite of normal development of intelligence, cognitive and sensory abilities.
About
Don't Look Back
While securing a crime scene, Matt's coworker mentions that the detective exam test scores have been posted. He consoles Matt about the negative results. Later, after Matt's suspect resuce of Molly Walker, Audrey Hanson asks if Matt's anger at failing the detective exam would drive him to set himself up as a hero.
One Giant Leap
At home, Janice Parkman thinks Matt is mad at her because she has succeeded and he has failed. Matt reads her thoughts that she wants him to leave; so he goes to a local L.A. bar.
Nothing to Hide
Matt's former partner, Tom McHenry tells Matt that Audrey put in a request to have Matt retake the detective exam as a series of interviews to accomodate his dyslexia. Matt claims he didn't know that was an option, but apparently Audrey pulled some strings since she's FBI. Verbally, Tom congratulates Matt and assures him he's going to pass the test this time; mentally, Tom thinks Matt is a loser and clueless.

Notes
- Many people with dyslexia often find success in doing things orally, rather than on paper. For instance, dyslexic children may receive accomodations to have a test read to them, or to have someone else scribe their answers.
