Testing for Dyslexia and ADHD

Dyslexia runs in my husband's family
and I have an 8 yr. old who still turns
letters and numbers around.
When is a good time to look at testing?

The statistics suggest testing as early
as 1st grade can be helpful since:
- Almost 90% of 1st graders with
a word identification problem will
be poor readers in 4th grade

- Over 70% of 3rd Graders with a
Reading Disability (Dyslexia) will
still have a Reading Disability
(Dyslexia) in 12th grade

The key is what to test for. We
believe the 4 most critical things
to test for are:
- A Learning Difference -- does
your child learn best when they
see and experience information

- A Visual Processing issue --
does your child skip words
or lines when reading

- ADHD - Attention Deficit
Disorder

- Auditory Processing
Disorder -- they may
hear, but not process
information correctly
