Most of the history of dyslexia has occurred during the last 25 years. Before that the condition was practically unknown.
Dyslexics learn differently. Their eyes see the same but their brains 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 full potential they need to be taught differently, according to their needs.
In roughly the last fifteen years, dyslexia testing has been part of the educational process. Children in elementary schools have routinely been screened for dyslexia. As part of their standard procedures, everyone went through preliminary screening. Those identified as possibly dyslexic, were put through full scale testing for dyslexia which identified whether or not they were dyslexic, and, if so, what type and to what degree was the problem.
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.
Millions of adult dyslexics today have never taken a dyslexia test. They still struggle with learning and reading difficulties that could be easily overcome if they were only known. A half-hour dyslexia test could make enormous improvements in their self-esteem and abilities.
One of the problems in helping dyslexics is that there are many different types of dyslexia. Dyslexia takes many different forms; all dyslexics are different. They cannot be readily sorted into categories and then treated the same as a group.
Testing for dyslexia, especially in adults, is extremely important. Testing is the only way the numerous (in the millions) of adult dyslexics can be identified and helped. Without knowing, without the training they need, it’s probable that they can never reach their full potentials. A simple dyslexia test could set them free, dramatically improve their lives.
