What do Statistics on Dyslexia Tell Us About the Need to Take an Adult Dyslexia Test?
Dyslexia is a relatively frequent neurological condition which affects a person’s ability to read. Once diagnosed it can be overcome. There are various methods for treating dyslexia.
According to statistics on dyslexia, approximately 10% of the total population has some form and degree of dyslexia.
School age children are now routinely screened for this, but most of those of us who graduated from elementary school more than about 15 years ago have never been screened or tested.
These statistics on dyslexia mean that there are millions of adult dyslexics out there. 95% of these do not know that dyslexia is the root cause of their problems with reading and manipulating the symbols used for words and numbers. They all desperately need to take an adult dyslexia test, but they don’t know it…
Most of what we now know about dyslexia, we have learned in the last 15-25 years. Before that our educational systems made life very difficult for dyslexic students. They were unfairly branded as “slow learners” or “underachievers”. Dyslexics are not stupid, not mentally impaired. They just see things and learn things differently from non-dyslexics.
Most were embarrassed by their problems and tried to hide them, many developed elaborate defense mechanisms, like avoiding any situation or job or activity that might require that they read something or be required to read aloud. These defense mechanisms are still mostly in place; makes adult dyslexics hard to find.
If these people could be found now and encouraged to take an adult dyslexia test, their dyslexia could be diagnosed and they could be helped to overcome their dyslexix problems and lead normal, more fulfilling lives.
Furthermore, there are now ways of treating dyslexia. For example, a British businessman, has recently developed a new way of treating dyslexia. The treatment has proven 80+% effective in the tests run. Subjects have overcome their prevlearning problems, symptoms have disappeared.
If you have or anyone you know has difficulty in reading, in taking down telephone messages correctly or any of the the other symptoms of dyslexia (follow the links above, click on “Dyslexia Symptoms” on the navigation menu to see what these are) then take a full dyslexia test to find out for sure as soon as possible.
