Fast Dyslexia Assessment

It is expected that there are well over a million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S. Approximately 1 out of every 10 people has some type of dyslexia to some degree. Today, school-age children are routinely screened for dyslexia. But this is a relatively new development, only being widespread for the last 15 years.

Those of us that graduated high school more than 15 years ago were never tested. Some 90+ per cent of adults with dyslexia have no idea that it is dyslexia that has been causing them problems.

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.

Once dyslexics are identified, they can be taught how to do practically anything that non-dyslexics do. 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.

Any adult can take the test in the privacy of their home or office, anyplace that they can connect to the Internet.

The test takes about half an hour, costs less than a doctor’s visit and is very accurate. Your full dyslexia assessment is given to you in printable form immediately after completing the test.

In the case of children with learning disabilities associated with dyslexia there are new computer games that let parents or teachers, by using the game manual, identify probable dyxlexia problems easily.

The games come in different types and versions for different age groups.

Parents, teachers, any adult supervising the games can observe children playing and quickly identify which have probable dyslexia problems.

Both these new software tools help immensely in detection of dyslexia, the first step to overcoming its effects.
