Testing for Dyslexia
A common problem in most systems of education is that of children with learning disabilities. Dyslexia is one of the most frequently encountered cause of learning disabilities. Dyslexia is a neurological condition in which the signals received from the eyes are not clearly interpreted by the brain. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently and need special training to be able to interpret them as non-dyslexics would.
Dyslexia frequently manifests itself in problems with reading. In order to read, a person must interpret letters grouped together on paper into words/thoughts. To read aloud they must convert these symbols into the sounds of spoken words. In reading silently they must translate these symbols into words and thoughts.
The origin of the term “dyslexia” is in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to books, reading, word orders.
Approximately 1 person in every 10 has some type of dyslexia, to some degree. There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. But there is really only one way to know for sure whether a person has dyslexia or not and to what degree. That is by way of professional dyslexia testing.
Fortunately, in the last year or so, there is now an excellent accredited dyslexia test online. You can get a dyslexia assessment made by taking a full dyslexia test at home, on your computer, over the Internet. The entire test takes a little over half an hour. Also, it’s very economical; costs less than a visit to your Doctor!
Might you be dyslexic? Do you know someone that might be? There are millions of adult dyslexics who are unaware that dyslexia is their problem. A quick test could be their first step in overcoming dyslexia. It could get them started to achieving their full potential and leading a better life!
