Dyslexia Assessment Can Now Be Done Online
By admin | June 30, 2009
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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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 doing this early identification.
