Signs of Dyslexia in Adults
February 8th, 2010 by moonwalker | No Comments | Filed in General InterestDyslexia was virtually unknown, unrecognized and certainly not understood up until approximately 25 years ago. Practically everything that we know about dyslexia has been learned comparatively recently.
Dyslexics learn differently. Their eyes see things the exact same way but their brains seem to interpret the signals from the eyes differently than those of non-dyslexics. It’s O.K., many famous people have been dyslexic. But to reach their full potential they have to be taught differently, in accordance with their individual needs.
For roughly the last 15 years, as part of a program to help in overcoming dyslexia, school-age kids have all been screened for signs of dyslexia in children. Those identified as “probables” went through a full-blown test for dyslexia. Those dyslexics thus identified were subsequently taught according to the way they needed to be taught.
Those who went through grade school more than 15 years ago almost all bear the scars of being hammered into molds that did not fit. They were ridiculed for their differences, looked at as retarded (which most are definitely not!), slow learners, etc. They were embarrassed and learn to hide their differences.
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.
Dyslexia testing is not difficult or expensive or time-consuming. There is an excellent online test available now that can be done in half an hour from any place there is an Internet connection. If there is any possibility that a person might be dyslexic, they can find out for less than the cost of a visit to their Doctor or Dentist!
