Dyslexia has been little comprehended or studied for most of recorded history. Practically all that we have learned about dyslexia has been in the last twenty-five years.
Dyslexics see things differently. A dyslexic’s eyes are just 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 traditional manner.
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.
Those who went through grade school more than 15 years ago almost all bear the scars of being hammered into molds that did not fit. They were ridiculed for their differences, looked at as retarded (which most are definitely not!), slow learners, etc. They were embarrassed and learn to hide their differences.
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.
One of the problems in helping dyslexics is that there are many different types of dyslexia. Dyslexia takes many different forms; all dyslexics are different. They cannot be readily sorted into categories and then treated the same as a group.
Dyslexia testing is neither difficult nor expensive nor 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 chance that a person might be dyslexic, they can find out for less than the cost of a visit to their Doctor or Dentist!
