Dyslexia Software Makes Testing Easier
It is expected that there are well over a million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S. 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.
Practically all of us who finished elementary 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. This means that dyslexics often have difficulty in reading, spelling and pronouncing new words.
Once dyslexics are identified, they can be taught how to do practically anything that non-dyslexics do. The difficulty lies in finding these “closet dyslexics”, getting them tested and setting them on the right track to overcoming any difficulties.
The speed and flexibility of the Internet has now been tapped by new dyslexia software. It lets you take a full dyslexia test online.}
This can be done at home, from your office… anywhere you can have access to the Internet. It permits a full dyslexia assessment that you receive immediately after taking the test.
There is also dyslexia software in the form of children’s games that can identify children with learning disabilities related to dyslexia.
There are several different games and versions of the games aimed at different age groups.
Parents, teachers, any adult supervising the games can observe children playing and quickly identify which have probable dyslexia problems.
These new software tools promise to be a great help in making it easier to test and identify those with problems of dyslexia.
