Adult Dyslexia Testing

Testing for Dyslexia can be a daunting prospect, and testing adults can be even more so. As no two cases are exactly alike, and many cases occur side-by-side with Attention Deficit Disorder, the condition of dyslexia is often mis-diagnosed entirely. In fact, experts agree that as many as one in ten or as few as one in fifteen Americans are most probably dyslexic to some degree. The key to understanding this is to first comprehend that only one in ten cases of dyslexia are severe enough that they qualify as what the school systems call a learning disability. The other nine out of ten cases are simply left to their own and their parents devices to cope with this misunderstood condition.

Perhaps the biggest problem with testing for dyslexia is that there is no one test that can be used to determine with absolute certainty that you have dyslexia. This is due to the conditions impact ranging widely from case to case. From barely perceptible, to impacting upon nearly every facet of their life.

In addition, the classic symptoms are often disguised by those that suffer from them to avoid embarrassment or even ridicule or discrimination. If this is you then please consider an adult dyslexia test.

In actuality, the average dyslexic is of normal to high intelligence, and frequently possesses formidable aptitudes for artistic, athletic, out-of-the-box thinking, inventing, and many more creative skills. In fact this leads some to refer to “the gift of dyslexia”. If so, then like most gifts, it comes at a price. This price is often alienation or estrangement for many people with this condition. Either self-inflicted or from a misunderstanding America. The reality of the situation is this, Dyslexics are among some of the most creative and innovative humans who have ever lived. In fact both Albert Einstein and Leonardo DaVinci were both dyslexic.

So please, if you even suspect that you or your child are dyslexic, then go ahead and do some further research. Check out the common symptoms and if three or more of them affect you or your child then please pursue further lines of inquiry. In fact, I urge you to consider comprehensive testing for your children and an adult dyslexia test for you and your spouse.
