Dyslexia Tests and Dyslexia in Children
Dyslexia was virtually unknown, unrecognized and certainly not understood up until about twenty-five years ago. Practically everything that we know about it has been learned fairly recently.
Dyslexics learn differently. Their eyes see objects the exact same way but their brains interpret the signals from the eyes differently than those of non-dyslexics. It’s O.K., many highly successful people have been dyslexic. But to reach their complete potential they must be taught differently, according to their special needs.
In the last 15 years elementary school procedure has been to routinely screen for dyslexia in children. Practically all children who had problems with reading were selected to go through a full-scale professional dyslexia test and evaluation.
Those who went through grade school more than 15 years ago almost all bear the scars of being hammered into molds that did not fit. They were ridiculed for their differences, looked at as retarded (which most are definitely not!), slow learners, etc. They were embarrassed and learn to hide their differences.
Today there are millions of dyslexic adults still struggling to deal with the world through a dyslexic lens, not realizing that dyslexia is their problem and a simple dyslexia test could set them on the road to life-changing improvements.
One of the problems in helping dyslexics is that there are many different types of dyslexia. Dyslexia takes many different forms; all dyslexics are different. They cannot be readily sorted into categories and then treated the same as a group.
Today there are literally millions of adult dyslexics that are totally unaware that what has been limiting them is actually dyslexia. That is why dyslexia tests for adults are so important. With a test, they can be identified and helped. Without being tested, they will most likely never be able to attain their full potential.
