Adult Dyslexia Signs
The history of dyslexia has been one of long struggle in the darkness of ignorance, followed by great amounts of progress in the last 25 years.
Dyslexics see things differently. A dyslexic’s eyes are exactly the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals received in different manners. Because of this they learn differently. They must be taught in the way they learn, not in the common ways.
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 in this way they can overcome dyslexia and move on to enjoy its benefits.
Before about 15 years ago, dyslexics were lumped in with the rest of the students and had to take their chances. Most were treated badly by the educational system, called lazy, slow learners, underachievers. They were made to feel ashamed of and embarrassed by their differences and learned to conceal them.
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.
There are a large number of different types of dyslexia to deal with. There is no standard definition, no real, workable way to sort them out into types and put them into nice, neat categories. Each one is different and needs to be evaluated and taught accordingly.
For adult dyslexics (part of the 2+ million) out there a dyslexic test could open up a whole new world of how to easily do things they had never been able to do before. Many adult dyslexics are identified when one of their children tests positive for dyslexia in school. Since dyslexia runs in families, parents of newly-identified dyslexics are often encouraged to be tested. Doing so has opened up new possibilities, new abilities, new careers for many.
