Quick Dyslexia Assessment
It is expected that there are well over a million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S. About 10% of the general population has some type of dyslexia. While school-age children are now routinely screened for dyslexia, this is a relatively recent development, only coming in the last 15 years or so.
Practically all of us who finished elementary school more than 15 years ago were never tested 95% of adult dyslexics are unaware that dyslexia is what makes them “different”.
The signals from the eyes of dyslexics are interpreted differently, causing them to see things differently. This means that dyslexics often have difficulty in reading, spelling and pronouncing new words.
With the proper training, they can do almost everything that non-dyslexics can. The difficulty lies in finding these “closet dyslexics”, getting them tested and setting them on the right track to overcoming any difficulties.
There is now new dyslexia software available that lets you take a full dyslexia test online, over the Internet.. It lets you take a full dyslexia test online.}
Any adult can take the test in the privacy of their home or office, anyplace that they can connect to the Internet. You get a full dyslexia assessment immediately after the test. It comes in a form that you can print out and read, along with the accompanying explanations.
There is also dyslexia software in the form of children’s games that can identify children with learning disabilities related to dyslexia.
There are several different games and versions of the games aimed at different age groups.
The children do not know they are being tested. The games are set up so that players must identify things they see and use the information correctly. The manuals tell you which ones will cause those with dyslexia to show problems.
These new software tools promise to be a great help in making it easier to test and identify those with problems of dyslexia.
