Adult Dyslexia Test: the 1st Step in Overcoming Dyslexia
Posted: under General Interest.
Dyslexia appears to be caused by faulty communication between the eyes and the brain; the eyes send the signals but the brain does not interpret these signals correctly. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently. Dyslexics require special training to be able to interpret what they see in the same ways as non-dyslexics would.
Dyslexia usually shows up first in reading problems. When someone reads, they are interpreting symbols on paper into words or thoughts. If they read aloud, they are converting symbols on paper into spoken words with their appropriate and correct sounds. Reading silently, they are converting symbols into thoughts.
The word “dyslexia” consists of “dys” – not working, as in “dysfunctional” and “lexia” – as in “lexicon” a dictionary of words or terms. This origin comes from the often observed problem that those with dyslexia have with reading.
Approximately 1 person in every 10 has some type of dyslexia, to some degree.
There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. But there is really only one way to know for sure whether a person has dyslexia or not and to what degree.
That is by using special dyslexiia tests that provide this information.
In the last year, in a new development, an excellent accredited dyslexia test has become available online.
There is a home dyslexia test that can now be taken in the comfort and privacy of your own home or from anywhere you can get a connection to the Internet.
It takes about half an hour and costs less than a dinner for two in a medium-good restaurant.
Might you be dyslexic? Do you know someone that might be? There are millions of adult dyslexics who are unaware that learning disabilities dyslexia is their problem. A quick test could be their first step in overcoming dyslexia.
