New Dyslexia Software
Throughout the world there are millions of children with learning disabilities. Dyslexia is one of the most frequently encountered cause of learning disabilities. Dyslexia is a neurological condition in which the signals received from the eyes are not clearly interpreted by the brain. One of the results is that dyslexics “see” things differently and need special training to be able to interpret them as non-dyslexics would.
Dyslexia usually shows up first in reading problems. When someone reads, they are interpreting symbols on paper into words or thoughts. If they read aloud, they are converting symbols on paper into spoken words with their appropriate and correct sounds. Reading silently, they are converting symbols into thoughts.
The origin of the term “dyslexia” is in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to books, reading, word orders.
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. And that is through dyslexia testing.
In the last year, in a new development, an excellent accredited dyslexia test has become available online. Testing for dyslexia can now be done from home or anywhere you can get a connection to the Internet. It takes about half an hour and costs less than a dinner for two in a medium-good restaurant.
Might you be dyslexic? Do you know someone that might be? There are millions of adult dyslexics who are unaware that dyslexia is their problem. A quick test could be their first step in overcoming dyslexia. It could get them started to achieving their full potential and leading a better life! Click on any link above to get full details…
