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. Today, school-age children are routinely screened for dyslexia. But this is a relatively new development, only being widespread for the last 15 years.

Those of us that graduated high 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. They frequently have difficulty in reading, especially reading aloud.

Once dyslexics are identified, they can be taught how to do practically anything that non-dyslexics do. The problem is in finding them, getting them tested so they can be helped.

There is now new dyslexia software available that lets you take a full dyslexia test online, over the Internet.. It lets you take a full dyslexia test online.}

The test takes about half an hour, costs less than a doctor’s visit and is very accurate. 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.

There is a selection of games designed for different age groups. You just choose the one that is appropriate for your child.

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.

Both these new software tools help immensely in detection of dyslexia, the first step to overcoming its effects.
