Table of Contents | Testing For Dyslexia | Adults with Dyslexia Where can an adult get tested for dyslexia?
There are two types of testing you may want to consider: • dyslexia screening, or • full assessment services.Dyslexia screening is ordinarily done as a first step toward getting help by a provider of services geared to dyslexia, and is generally not expensive. For example, Davis Dyslexia Correction providers use a screening test called the Davis Perceptual Ability Assessment. Together with your own description of your symptoms and problems – the possible signs you have noticed – this Assessment will tell whether Davis methods are likely to help you.Full assessment services will give you a more complete picture of various learning issues and problems you may have. This sort of assessment is needed if you want to get special accommodations at school or at work, or are concerned about possible workplace descrimination. This sort of testing is more expensive, but also gives a more detailed measurement of what sort of problems you have.
