Dyslexia is a neurological condition that keeps the signals sent by the eyes from being clearly interpreted by the brain. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently. Dyslexics need special training to be able to interpret what they see in ways that let them extract the necessary info to be able to interpret them correctly.
Often the first indication of dyslexia shows up as problems with reading. To read one must see the letters of words correctly and then interpret these letters into words and the words into sounds and thoughts/ideas. Different types of dyslexia make this process of seeing and interpreting difficult.
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.
About 10% of the general population has some sort of dyslexia, in some degree.
There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. In the final analysis there is only one way to detect/prove the presence of dyslexia and measure its severity.
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.
This means that there is now an accurate and economical dyslexic test that you can take in the privacy of your home or office (anywhere you have an Internet connection) at any time.
It takes about half an hour and costs less than a dinner for two in a medium-good restaurant.
There are literally millions of adult dyslexics that are completely unaware that many of their problems could be solved by dyslexia treatment. They can be easily helped once identified. Click on any link in this blog posting to get full information…
