Why Adults Should Test for Dyslexia Symptoms
Practically all of the story of dyslexia has occurred during the last 25 years or so. Before that dyslexia was practically a mystery.
Dyslexics learn differently. Their eyes see things the exact same way but their brains apparently interpret the signals from their eyes differently than those of non-dyslexics. It’s O.K., many famous people have been dyslexic. But to reach their full potential they need to be taught differently, according to their needs.
In the last 15 years school-age children have been routinely screened for dyslexia in children. Practically all those who had problems with reading were selected to go through a full-scale professional dyslexia test and 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.
Today there are millions of dyslexic adults still struggling to deal with the world through a dyslexic lens, not realizing that dyslexia is their problem and a simple dyslexia test could set them on the road to life-changing improvements.
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.
A dyslexia test could be a life-changing experience for an adult dyslexic. The test would provide the basis for a diagnosis and lead to the dyslexic person finally receiving the training he or she needs to effectively overcome the limitations that dyslexia would otherwise impose. It could open up a whole new world of opportunity and personal growth.
