Dyslexia Assessment Can Now Be Done Online
Many experts believe that there are between 1 and 2 million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S.A. alone. Approximately 1 out of every 10 people has some type of dyslexia to some degree. 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.
Those of us that graduated high school more than 15 years ago were never tested. 95% of adult dyslexics are unaware that dyslexia is what makes them “different”. Dyslexics see thing differently from non-dyslexics. They frequently have difficulty in reading, especially reading aloud.
With the proper training, they can do almost everything that non-dyslexics can. The problem is in finding them, getting them tested so they can be helped.
The speed and flexibility of the Internet has now been tapped by new dyslexia software. 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. It permits a full dyslexia assessment that you receive immediately after taking the test.
For children with learning disabilities there is dyslexia software for special games that enable teachers or parents to easily identify those children with dyslexia problems. There is a selection of games designed for different age groups. You just choose the one that is appropriate for your child.
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.
Both these new software tools help immensely in detection of dyslexia, the first step to overcoming its effects.
