Dyslexia Symptoms & Diagnosis – Know the Signs!

In our previous video we have discussed What is Dyslexia, How does it occur and How dangerous it is. In this video we will discuss about How to diagnose Dyslexia.

People with dyslexia often find ways to manage their difficulty, so others may not even know that they are struggling. This can prevent embarrassment, but asking for help can make school and reading easier. Most people find out they have dyslexia when they're kids, but it's common for teenagers or adults to be diagnosed too.

Parents or teachers might think a teen has dyslexia if they notice these issues:

• Poor reading skills, even though they are smart
• Poor spelling and writing skills
• Trouble finishing assignments and tests on time
• Difficulty remembering the right names for things
• Trouble memorizing written lists and phone numbers
• Problems with directions (telling right from left or up from down) or reading maps
• Trouble getting through foreign language classes

Having one of these issues doesn't mean someone has dyslexia. But if someone shows a few of these signs, they should be tested for the condition.

A reading specialist or psychologist, either at school or in the community, can formally diagnose dyslexia through a comprehensive evaluation.

Typically, early testing is best for learning disabilities.
