New Home Dyslexia Test
Posted on June 30th, 2009 No commentsA common problem in most systems of education is that of children with learning disabilities. One of the more common learning disabilities is that caused by dyslexia. Dyslexia seems to be caused by a miss-comunication between the eyes and the brain; the signals get sent but the brain does not interpret them clearly. The result is that dyslexic people (dyslexics) see things differently.
Dyslexia frequently manifests itself in problems with reading. In order to read, a person must interpret letters grouped together on paper into words/thoughts. To read aloud they must convert these symbols into the sounds of spoken words. In reading silently they must translate these symbols into words and thoughts.
The word “dyslexia” itself, consists of “dys” -not working, as in “dysfunctional” and “lexia” – having to do with reading, words, documents. It is based on this often observed problem with reading.|The origin of the term “dyslexia” is in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to books, reading, word orders.
Approximately 1 person in every 10 has some type of dyslexia, to some degree. There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. But there is really only one way to know for sure whether a person has dyslexia or not and to what degree. And that is through dyslexia testing.
In the last year, in a new development, an excellent accredited dyslexia test has become available online. This means that there is now an accurate and economical home dyslexia test that you can take in the privacy of your home or office (anywhere you have an Internet connection) at any time. The entire test takes a little over half an hour. Also, it’s very economical; costs less than a visit to your Doctor!

A quick test could be their first step in overcoming dyslexia. It could get them started to achieving their full potential and leading a better life! Click on any link above to get full details…
