Dyslexia is a neurological condition that keeps the signals sent by the eyes from being clearly interpreted by the brain. As a result, dyslexics (people with dyslexia) see things differently. Dyslexics need special training to be able to interpret what they see in ways that let them extract the necessary info to be able to interpret them correctly.
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 word “dyslexia” consists of “dys” – not working, as in “dysfunctional” and “lexia” – as in “lexicon” a dictionary of words or terms. This origin comes from the often observed problem that those with dyslexia have with reading.
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. In the final analysis there is only one way to detect/prove the presence of dyslexia and measure its severity.
And that is through dyslexia testing.
Fortunately, in the last year or so, there is now an excellent accredited dyslexia test online.
You can get an online dyslexia test that you can take at home, on your computer, over the Internet.
The entire test takes a little over half an hour. Also, it’s very economical; costs less than a visit to your Doctor!
