Dyslexia: Diagnosis

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Dyslexia: Diagnosis

Anyone who is suspected to have dyslexia should have a comprehensive evaluation, including hearing, vision, and intelligence testing. The test should include all areas of learning and learning processes, not just reading.

As further research pinpoints the genes responsible for some cases of dyslexia, there is a possibility that earlier testing will be established to allow for timely interventions to prevent the onset of the condition and to treat it when it does occur.

Unfortunately, in many schools, a child is not identified as having dyslexia until after repeated failures.
