New Way of Testing for Dyslexia
There are many children with learning disabilities. Dyslexia is one of the most frequently encountered cause of learning disabilities. Dyslexia seems to be caused by a miss-comunication between the eyes and the brain; the signals get sent but the brain does not interpret them clearly. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently and need special training to be able to interpret them 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” itself, consists of “dys” -not working, as in “dysfunctional” and “lexia” – having to do with reading, words, documents. It is based on this often observed problem with reading.|The origin of the term “dyslexia” is in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to books, reading, word orders.
Approximately 1 person in every 10 has some type of dyslexia, to some degree. There are symptoms of dyslexia that many educators are trained to look for, such as difficulty 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 way of professional dyslexia testing.
Testing for dyslexia can now be done from home or anywhere you can get a connection to the Internet. The entire test takes a little over half an hour. Also, it’s very economical; costs less than a visit to your Doctor!
