Signs of Dyslexia in Adults

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 the last 15 years elementary school procedure has been to routinely screen for learning disabilities dyslexia. Practically all who had problems with reading were selected to go through a full-scale professional dyslexia test and evaluation.

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.

Dyslexia testing is not difficult or expensive; there’s even an online dyslexia test that takes half an hour, can be done from home or anywhere you can connect to the Internet and costs less than $60! If you or anyone you know might possibly be dyslexic, it’s really easy to find out for sure!
