Dyslexia has been little comprehended or identified for most of recorded history. Practically all that we have learned about dyslexia has come in the last 25 years.
Dyslexics see things differently. A dyslexic’s eyes are the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals received in different manners. Because of this they learn differently. They have to be taught in the way they learn, not in the common ways.
For a little more than 15 years now, elementary schools have routinely screened for learning abilities dyslexia. For more information on this subject, Click Here. Any child who had problems with reading was selected to go through full-scale professional testing for dyslexia followed by individual evaluation.
Before about 15 years ago, dyslexics were lumped in with the rest of the students and had to take their chances. Most were treated badly by the educational system, called lazy, slow learners, underachievers. They were made to feel ashamed of and embarrassed by their differences and learned to conceal them.
Millions of adult dyslexics today have never taken a dyslexia test. They still struggle with learning and reading difficulties that could be easily overcome if they were only known. A half-hour dyslexia test could make enormous improvements in their self-esteem and abilities.
There are many different types of dyslexia. In fact, there is no standard “type”; everyone is different. Dyslexics cannot be classified and put into different “boxes” to process. Each one must be tested and evaluated separately.
Testing for dyslexia, especially in adults, is extremely important. Testing is the only way the numerous (in the millions) of adult dyslexics can be identified and helped. Without knowing, without the training they need, it’s probable that they can never reach their full potentials. A simple dyslexia test could set them free, dramatically improve their lives.
