Perhaps the most confusing aspect of dyslexia is the symptoms that accompany it. Online dyslexia testing is the best way to identify and diagnose these symptoms so that the best course of action can be sought.

Most symptoms of dyslexia are quite similar to other learning disabilities such as dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, add and adhd. For instance, both people with dyslexia and dyscalculia will find sequencing and tasks requiring sequencing very hard, both will also have a very ineffective short term memory and both will seem to be disorganized. Similarly most of these learning disabilities result from a general inability to concentrate and focus on a task at hand.

Despite all this it is necessary that you understand that the course of action required for dyslexia is very different from that of the other learning disabilities. It is for this reason that a diagnosis is required so that the right treatment can be followed. The most common symptom that point at dyslexia are:

Reversing letters and words which look and sound alike such as d, p, b. Late learning; for instance learning how to tie the shoe lace or learning how to ride a bicycle much after the age of 10 or even 15. Is disorganized or "uniquely" organized. Cannot complete any work on time Seems bright but cannot live up to his or her potential Is lost or zones out of reality and day dreams most of the time.

If you have witnessed these symptoms in yourself then you will need to get yourself diagnosed by taking an online dyslexia test. This will help you understand your condition better and also point out the course of action that you must take so that you can develop the required "coping strategies" which can help you conquer the symptoms of dyslexia.

A qualified professional psychologist can help you get over your dyslexia as soon as possible. Once you have acquired the required coping strategies you can easily go on to live a better and more fulfilling life.
