Dyslexia is a neurological condition that keeps the signals sent by the eyes from being clearly interpreted by the brain. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently. Dyslexics require special training to be able to interpret what they see in the same ways as non-dyslexics would.

Often the first indication of dyslexia shows up as problems with reading. In reading you need to see the letters clearly and then interpret these letters into words and the words into sounds things or actions. Different types of dyslexia make this process of seeing and interpreting difficult.

The word “dyslexia” consists of “dys” - not working, as in “dysfunctional” and “lexia” - as in “lexicon” a dictionary of words or terms. This origin comes from the often observed problem that those with dyslexia have with reading.

Approximately 1 person in every 10 has some type of dyslexia, to some degree.

There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. But there is really only one way to know for sure whether a person has dyslexia or not and to what degree.

That is by way of professional testing for dyslexia.

Fortunately, in the last year or so, there is now an excellent accredited dyslexia test online.

You can get an online dyslexia test that you can take at home, on your computer, over the Internet.

The entire test takes a little over half an hour. Also, it’s very economical; costs less than a visit to your Doctor!

There is highly effective treatment for dyslexia, but it cannot be started and properly done without that simple test to start. That test could get them started to achieving their full potential and leading a better life! Click on any link above to get full details…
