Most of the history of dyslexia has been written during the last twenty-five years or so. Before that what we now know as dyslexia was almost completely a mystery.

Dyslexics see things differently. Their eyes are the same as those of non-dyslexics, but their brains interpret the signals differently. Because of this they learn differently. They need to be taught in the way they learn, not in the usual mold.

For a little more than 15 years now, elementary schools have routinely screened for learning abilities dyslexia. For more information on this subject, Click Here. Any child who had problems with reading was selected to go through full-scale professional testing for dyslexia followed by individual 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.

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 neither difficult nor expensive nor time-consuming. There is an excellent online test available now that can be completed in half an hour from anywhere 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!
