HOW ACCURATE ARE DYSLEXIA TESTS

Dyslexia Screening ToolsDyslexia screening tools need to be accessible and easy to administer. Screening should occur regularly, beginning in preschool and continuing through 2nd grade. Screening should include students who are English Language Learners and those who have a family history of dyslexia.

The Dyslexia Evaluation ProcessA complete dyslexia evaluation must consist of a detailed clinical history and mental assessment. This need to also involve academic testing. Evaluators trained in dyslexia evaluation include college psycho therapists, neuropsychologists and developmental-behavioral pediatricians.
