How should the Dyslexia Screener be used?
The Dyslexia Screener should be used to provide a provisional indication of individuals who would benefit from further diagnostic assessment. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, depending on the particular setting. For example, whole year groups may be tested on intake or individuals may be selected for screening if they have already been identified as possibly having dyslexic tendencies, such as college students who say they have always had problems with reading or school pupils who have failed to progress in their acquisition of literacy skills, despite adequate opportunity.
