Practically all of the history of dyslexia has been compressed into the last twenty-five years. Before that dyslexia was almost completely unknown.

Dyslexics see things differently. A dyslexic’s eyes are the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals differently. For this reason they learn differently. They have to be taught in the way they learn, not in the usual mold.

In the last 15 years elementary school procedure has been to routinely screen for dyslexia in children. Practically all children who had problems with reading were selected to go through a full-scale professional dyslexia test and evaluation.

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.

Millions of adult dyslexics today have never taken a dyslexia test. They still struggle with learning and reading difficulties that could be easily overcome if they were only known. A half-hour dyslexia test could make enormous improvements in their self-esteem and abilities.

There are many different types of dyslexia. In fact, there is no standard “type”; everyone is different. Dyslexics cannot be classified and put into different “boxes” to process. Each one must be tested and evaluated separately.

Dyslexia testing is not difficult or expensive or time-consuming. There is an excellent online test available now that can be done in half an hour from any place there is an Internet connection. If there is any possibility that a person might be dyslexic, they can find out for less than the cost of a visit to their Doctor or Dentist!
