Dyslexia is often a result of difficulties with visual processing. Does your child often omit words and letters? Do they have difficulties forming letters or often reverse letters or numbers? Poor placement on lines and poor spatial awareness could also indicate trouble with the way they process visual information. These games can all help develop visual processing skills - and they're fun!

People with dyslexia are often highly intelligent, creative or practical. They develop efficient strategies to compensate or mask their difficulties. This is why many people with dyslexia go undiagnosed.

Ten percent (10%) of the population are dyslexic; 4% severely so. (British Dyslexia Association)

Dyslexia is not an obvious difficulty; it is hidden.

Does your teenager need to repeatedly read and reread material in order to understand it?

Does your teenager have extreme difficulty managing and keeping track of homework assignments and deadlines for his various classes?

Does your teenager repeatedly say that they were unaware of assignments and deadlines? Do they claim the teacher “never told” them what was required?

Is there a significant discrepancy between your teenagers day to day performance and the scores and grades they achieve?

If you answered 'yes' then, this could be indicactive of a specific learning difficulty, like dyslexia.

If you have concerns about your teenagers learning, Dyslexican can provide a full dyslexic diagnostic assessment.
