Fast Way for a Dyslexia Assessment

Many experts believe that there are between 1 and 2 million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S.A. alone. About 10% of the general population has some type of dyslexia. 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. They frequently have difficulty in reading, especially reading aloud.

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.

The speed and flexibility of the Internet has now been tapped by new dyslexia software. It lets you take a full dyslexia test online.} This can be done at home, from your office… anywhere you can have access to the Internet.

The half-hour test is quite accurate and costs less than dinner for two at a medium-class restaurant! Your full dyslexia assessment is given to you in printable form immediately after completing the test.

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.

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

The first step to overcoming dyslexia is to identify its presence by testing. These new software tools are a tremendous help in making this early identification.
