"I was dyslexic before
anybody knew what dyslexia was. I was called 'slow'. It's an awful feeling to
think of yourself as 'slow' - it's horrible."
Robert Benton
Websites "Formal diagnosis of
dyslexia is made by a qualified professional,
such as a
neurologist,
neuropsychologist, developmental
pediatrician, or
educational psychologist and
qualified specialist dyslexia teachers.
Evaluation generally includes testing of reading
ability together with measures of underlying
skills such as tests of rapid naming to evaluate
short term memory and
sequencing skills, and nonword reading to
evaluate
phonological coding skills. Evaluation will
usually also include an IQ test to establish a
profile of learning strengths and weaknesses.
While such "discrepancy" tests between full
scale IQ and reading level have, on their own,
been shown to be flawed, the tests often
include interdisciplinary testing to exclude
other possible causes for reading difficulties,
such as a more generalized cognitive impairment
or physical causes such as problems with vision
or hearing."
