Dyslexia Test - 1st Step in Overcoming Dyslexia
Dyslexia appears to be caused by faulty communication between the eyes and the brain; the eyes send the signals but the brain does not interpret these signals correctly. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently. Dyslexics must have special training to be able to interpret what they see in the same ways as non-dyslexics would.
Dyslexia usually shows up first in reading problems. When someone reads, they are interpreting symbols on paper into words or thoughts. If they read aloud, they are converting symbols on paper into spoken words with their appropriate and correct sounds. Reading silently, they are converting symbols into thoughts.
The origin of the term “dyslexia” is found in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to dictionaries, reading, word orders.
About 10% of the general population has some sort of dyslexia, in some degree.
There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. In the final analysis there is only one way to detect/prove the presence of dyslexia and measure its severity.
That is by taking a professionally prepared special dyslexia test.
