Signs of Dyslexia in Adults

The history of dyslexia has been one of long struggle in the darkness of ignorance, culminating in rapid and considerable progress in the last 25 years.

Dyslexics see things differently. Their eyes are the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals differently. Because of this they learn differently and need to be taught in the way they learn, not in the traditional mold.

The whole point of a dyslexia test is to identify dyslexics so they can be helped. Dyslexia cannot be “cured”. Dyslexia treatment consists of teaching dyslexics how to learn in the ways that work for them. When they are taught how to do this they can overcome dyslexia and move on to enjoy its benefits.

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.

There are many different types of dyslexia. In fact, there is no standard “type”; everyone is different. Dyslexics cannot be classified and put into different “boxes” to process. Each one must be tested and evaluated separately.

Today there are literally millions of adult dyslexics that are unaware that they are dyslexic. That is why dyslexia tests for adults are so important. With a test, they can be identified and helped. Without being tested, they probably will never be able to reach their full potential.
