Why Adults Should Test for Dyslexia Signs
Dyslexia was virtually unknown, unrecognized and certainly not understood up until around 25 years ago. Practically everything that we know about the condition we have learned comparatively recently.
Dyslexics see things differently. Their eyes are exactly the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals differently. Because of this they learn differently. They need to be taught in the way they learn, not in the common manner.
For roughly the last 15 years, as part of a program to help in overcoming dyslexia, school-age kids have all been screened for signs of dyslexia in children. Those identified as “probables” went through a full-blown test for dyslexia. Those dyslexics thus identified were subsequently taught according to the way they needed to be taught.
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.
Today there are millions of dyslexic adults still struggling to deal with the world through a dyslexic lens, not realizing that dyslexia is their problem and a simple dyslexia test could set them on the road to life-changing improvements.
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.
Today there are literally millions of adult dyslexics that are totally unaware that what has been limiting them is actually dyslexia. That is why dyslexia tests for adults are so important. With a test, they can be identified and helped. Without being tested, they will probably never be able to achieve their full potential.
