Children With Learning Disabilities
It is expected that there are well over a million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S. About 10% of the general population has some type of dyslexia. While school-age children are now routinely screened for dyslexia, this is a relatively recent development, only coming in the last 15 years or so.
Practically all of us who finished elementary school more than 15 years ago were never tested 95% of adult dyslexics are unaware that dyslexia is what makes them “different”. Dyslexics see thing differently from non-dyslexics. This means that dyslexics often have difficulty in reading, spelling and pronouncing new words.
With the proper training, they can do almost everything that non-dyslexics can. The difficulty lies in finding these “closet dyslexics”, getting them tested and setting them on the right track to overcoming any difficulties.
Now new dyslexia software makes the testing process fast and easy over the Internet.. It lets you take a full dyslexia test online.} Any adult can take the test in the privacy of their home or office, anyplace that they can connect to the Internet. Your full dyslexia assessment is given to you in printable form immediately after completing the test.
There is also dyslexia software in the form of children’s games that can identify children with learning disabilities related to dyslexia. The games come in different types and versions for different age groups.
Parents, teachers, any adult supervising the games can observe children playing and quickly identify which have probable dyslexia problems.
Both these new software tools help immensely in detection of dyslexia, the first step to overcoming its effects.
