Home Dyslexia Test
A common problem in most systems of education is that of 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. As a result, dyslexics (people with dyslexia) see things differently.
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.
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 through a special dyslexic test.
In the last year, in a new development, an excellent accredited dyslexia test has become available online. You can get a dyslexia assessment made by taking a full dyslexia test at home, on your computer, over the Internet. It takes about half an hour and costs less than a dinner for two in a medium-good restaurant.
Do you ever have trouble reading? Are you dyslexic? Ever been tested? Do you know someone who might be dyslexic? There are literally millions of adult dyslexics that are completely unaware that it is dyslexia that is causing them problems. They can be easily helped once identified.
