Indications of Dyslexia in Children

The history of dyslexia has been one of long struggle in the darkness of ignorance, followed by tremendous strides forward in progress in the last twenty-five years.

Dyslexics see things differently. A dyslexic’s eyes are just 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 usual ways.

In the last 15 years elementary school procedure has been to routinely screen for dyslexia in children. Practically all children 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 a large number of different types of dyslexia to deal with. There is no standard definition, no real, workable way to sort them out into types and put them into nice, neat categories. Each one is different and needs to be evaluated and taught accordingly.

Dyslexia testing is not difficult or expensive; there’s even an online dyslexia test (for more info, click here) that takes half an hour, can be done from home or wherever you can connect to the Internet and costs less than $60! If you or anyone you know might possibly be dyslexic, it’s really easy to find out for sure!
