Experts believe that there are between 1 and 2 million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S.A. alone. About 10% of the general population has some type of dyslexia. Today, school-age children are routinely screened for dyslexia. But this is a relatively new development, only being widespread for the last 15 years.
Those of us that graduated high school more than 15 years ago were never tested. Some 90+ per cent of adults with dyslexia have no idea that it is dyslexia that has been causing them problems.
The signals from the eyes of dyslexics are interpreted differently, causing them to see things differently. They frequently have difficulty in reading, especially reading aloud.
Once dyslexics are identified, they can be taught how to do practically anything that non-dyslexics do. The problem is in finding them, getting them tested so they can be helped.
There is now new dyslexia software available that lets you take a full dyslexia test online, over the Internet.
This can be done at home, from your office… anywhere you can have access to the Internet.
The half-hour test is quite accurate and costs less than dinner for two at a medium-class restaurant! It permits a full dyslexia assessment that you receive immediately after taking the test.
For children with learning disabilities there is dyslexia software for special games that enable teachers or parents to easily identify those children with dyslexia problems.
The games come in different types and versions for different age groups.
The children do not know they are being tested. The games are set up so that players must identify things they see and use the information correctly. The manuals tell you which ones will cause those with dyslexia to show problems.
The first step to overcoming dyslexia is to identify its presence by testing. These new software tools are a tremendous help in doing this early identification.
