Games to Identify Children With Learning Disabilities
It is expected that there are well over a million undiagnosed adult dyslexics in the U.S. Approximately 1 out of every 10 people has some type of dyslexia to some degree. While school-age children are now routinely screened for dyslexia, this is a relatively recent development, only coming in the last 15 years or so.
Those of us that graduated high school more than 15 years ago were never tested. 95% of adult dyslexics are unaware that dyslexia is what makes them “different”.
The signals from the eyes of dyslexics are interpreted differently, causing them to see things differently. They frequently have difficulty in reading, especially reading aloud.
With the proper training, they can do almost everything that non-dyslexics can. The problem is in finding them, getting them tested so they can be helped.
