Experts believe that there are between 1 and 2 million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S.A. alone. About 10% of the general population has some type of dyslexia. While school-age children are now routinely screened for dyslexia, this is a relatively recent development, only coming in the last 15 years or so.

Practically all of us who finished elementary school more than 15 years ago were never tested 95% of adult dyslexics are unaware that dyslexia is what makes them “different”.

The signals from the eyes of dyslexics are interpreted differently, causing them to see things differently. This means that dyslexics often have difficulty in reading, spelling and pronouncing new words.

With the proper training, they can do almost everything that non-dyslexics can. The difficulty lies in finding these “closet dyslexics”, getting them tested and setting them on the right track to overcoming any difficulties.

The speed and flexibility of the Internet has now been tapped by new dyslexia software. It lets you take a full dyslexia test online.

This can be done at home, from your office… anywhere you can have access to the Internet.

The half-hour test is quite accurate and costs less than dinner for two at a medium-class restaurant! You get a full dyslexia assessment immediately after the test. It comes in a form that you can print out and read, along with the accompanying explanations.

In the case of children with learning disabilities associated with dyslexia there are new computer games that let parents or teachers, by using the game manual, identify probable dyxlexia problems easily.

The games come in different types and versions for different age groups.

The children do not know they are being tested. The games are set up so that players must identify things they see and use the information correctly. The manuals tell you which ones will cause those with dyslexia to show problems.

The first step to overcoming dyslexia is to identify its presence by testing. These new software tools are a tremendous help in doing this early identification.
