Inside a Dyslexia Evaluation

[@TacticalKiwi4862]

Take an interest in non structer learning like artistic things. Or creative wrighting. I dont know how old your brother is but if wrighting isnt a stong point try getting a dictating program set up on a computer. You will find he probably has a huge mind that is very imaginative. Dyslexics just dont learn in such a square rigid structured way. This comming from a 27 yo dyslexic who was diagnosed in 5th grade.

[@raicarvalho8299]

I really want that bc I'm trying to figure out if I'm really dyslexic. Ppl said they think I'm on the spectrum but it's hard to tell for me, I relate more to the dyslexia stuff like big time but also have a lot of panic attacks and anxiety and trouble talking with ppl but it's different problems with communicating than with what I read about autism. I can't understand ppl when other noise is happening around me but it's not quite the same as not being able to block out the sound, I can't filter out the other sounds well to get what someone is saying which is an issue associated with dyslexia. I have a phobia of talking through devices bc I can't understand ppl without looking at them unless I've heard them a lot b4 and I misunderstand the meanings of what ppl say or take things too literally which are present in both conditions but I think for autism it's more not being able to understand how something is meant whereas I have trouble associating the words and phrases with the proper meaning, like I might take something too literally bc I'm deciphering each word separately or missing part of the words like I hear it and then I start understanding what I heard which may not even be accurate idk if I'm making any sense but someone give me a link to this test for adults so I can see how I fit in with it bc I feel this kid big time for when I was his age so I feel like I'm right in thinking it's dyslexia XD

[@lionmaster13]

DolanTwins E and Gray I was tested in primary school in 4th class so when I was about 9, we did the spelling test only. It was words I HAD struggled with for ages when trying to learn them but then we did them. It was only words like cat or mat or hat. I didnt have it according to that test, there was a girl who did it at the same time she perpoisely flailed the test. According to the Deslexia.org - the most official site I could find I do have it, I asked at the start of last year could I got tested beacuse I'm in a different school and he still hasn't done so, I swear I have dyslexia, even my friend who has dyslexia thinks I have it.

[@williamgamz4854]

The Golden Lion you most probably do since you spelt purposely as perpoisely and failed as flailed. Dyslexic people often have trouble spelling words. Hope this helps :)

[@ybunnygurl]

Most likely your a sight reader so you see word and you memorize it when you hear it. My trick is to look to see if I see smaller words I know in big words I don't and I try to go from there this doesn't always help however cuz my phonemic awareness sucks.

[@SmallishPoppy6]

With me the nonsense words where my favorite because I knew they where nonsense so, in my mind then, nonsense words are made up words that sound fun. The nonsense words to me was a way to goof around

[@Dreamseller112]

my dyslexic diagnosis test was similar to this. I feel his frustrations and pressure to perform in these tests. i remember in primary school i would always get hot and flustered and run out of mental energy whenever I had to read and spell. im 21 now and I still cant spell or gather words fast enough to get my point across, I even find verbal communication hard sometimes. thing is everyone's nero network is optimised and wired in diffrent ways. theres 7 1/2 billion people on this world and not one person has the same mindset.

Watching this evaluation was eye-opening to the skills the student needs to complete each task you gave for the student to complete!! The Evaluator was non-judgmental during each segment of the evaluation, and praised him frequently, and told the word to the student if he was stuck. That made a difference in helping the student to continue with a good effort! The calm tone and sometimes playful tone of voice from the Evaluator was very helpful too, and encouraged the student to believe that it was ok to make some mistakes. Very helpful!!! Thank you!

My mom refused to get me tested for dyslexia because she thought I would be discriminated to get a job. It made school hell, but a few teachers who knew about dyslexia and could see my struggles they would make accommodations for me. Some teachers were able to get someone to read questions and answers on a test. I scored at least 10% better with this simple accommodated!

Absolutely fantastic! I was born in 1944 and at that time, no one had any idea about Dyslexia, so I ended up with glasses at the age of 13. I loved watching this little boys face. At 18 I felt I had to find out what was going on before I hit college. So I forced myself to read one book each week, off the New York Times best seller list. I hated school and book reports were hours and weeks of torture. I am now a very fast reader and I can read upside down and backward. To me, letters are pictures. I still have a problem with numbers and will almost always reverse the last two numbers in a group. My big surprise was learning in my late teens, that my problem was not visual, but neurological. People see a Dyslexic as lazy and dumb. I hated math and loved algebra. Algebra was a puzzle and gave me time to think. Fortunately, one of my teachers suggested my Parents have me tested. The IQ test proved that I was more than capable of making this all work out. Now at 76 I am living in a foreign country and learning a new language. It is a big challenge. But then, so is life.

I have dyslexia. Found that out only as an adult coz when i was a child, there were no such tests. School was nightmare coz the teachers and classmates treated me badly, as though i was mentaly impaired and would be stupid for my entire life. Only in my later years in school, in boarding school, people realized that something was up. I never opened a book to study in dorm, but i always managed to score avarage or above which made no sense to most of my classmates who studied long hours in front of books before exams. In one of the tests in biology, i was also the only one out of 50 to ansver one particular question correctly. The teacher read my ansver and and made everyone write it down. My test scores depended a lot on how good was the teacher teaching and explaining in class, and not the amount of hours i spent studying on my own. I remembered very well what i heard, but i could never remember well what i read coz i strugled so much with reading. Now that i am aware of my dyslexia, its also easier for me to manage it coz now i know my weak points.

Again, I am yet another book loving dyslexic. People, including parents and teachers, found it interesting as I showed few obvious signs. My parents are teachers and my dad has worked with children with learning difficulties like dyslexia for numerous years so I'm a bit of an odd one.

[@marblegray]

Huh that's really interesting.. How did you find out you had it if you didn't have any of the signs?

[@mariosd632]

When I was 6 it took me one minute to be able to decode a sentence. At first I didn't like books but my mother managed to find one I actually enjoyed. We sat with my sister (who also has dyslexia) and we read it aloud for hours on end. It was sort of a game for us. We didn't know we had dyslexia at the time. Turns out that practicing reading and playing an instrument really helps dyslexic individuals. Now you wouldn't even know I have dyslexia unless you took a look at my latest class test ...

[@Danae78]

Man... I so needed you when I was a kid. I will never forget my struggles reading a USA Today newspaper..and unable to finish it without crying and shaking. Ugh so horrible.

[@shaywalters7807]

My childhood best friend has Dyslexia. It must be hard especially during English tests and class reading

[@unmillondetestimoniosconje6503]

I remember my whole life wondering why was I so dumb but now I realized that we work in a different way and we always have a amazing Talent

[@frankygrime]

Recess is his favourite subject 😂 Reminds me of Michael Scott.

[@vivianhurd2041]

frankygrime when I got evaluated the person asked me what is my favorite subject and I said nothing

[@anaaadrienne5745]

I laughed at that part 😂 what a cutie

[@ct83oldaccount43]

frankygrime am I supposed to know who that is

[@ihabmidhat]

Great video. I am that kid except I am 30 years older. I hope he got all the help he need.

[@aishlingdennehy1595]

I cried so much i couldn’t read a proper sentence at the test

[@magnolia31611]

All of these things I have struggled with for my entire life, and never once did I have a teacher step in and suggest that I be evaluated for dyslexia. It wasn't until I was in college that a professor suggest that I be evaluated for it, but by that point I was off on my own, with no way to pay for an evaluation. I always just thought I was stupid, now I realize I'm not stupid at all, my brain just processes information differently. I just wish I would have had the tools, and resources to help me do my best when I was in school.

[@scottpoponyak1028]

Excellent insider perspective

[@makeit2132]

I was terrible in primary school. I'm 37 now, with a PhD in Engineering and I still can't read out loud well. My self esteem improved a lot when they stopped asking me to read in front of the whole class. Now, I love to read to my kids. Even thought my 6 year old daughter reads better than me and picks up every mistake.

[@Blastof-ob2zb]

Wait he expects this kid to know which way the sun sets? I don’t even know that

[@paige1955]

Ava Flood sun sets west

[@Blastof-ob2zb]

Anon Anon THANK YOU

[@ConcreteAngelx3]

I was thinking he was looking for the answer "down" ... which a child would know.. I agree most wouldn't know East or West.

[@Blastof-ob2zb]

ConcreteAngelx3 That would make sense

[@emiliab7229]

It’s not hard south is down and the sun sets down

[@johngalyen2315]

I understand this kid so much! I did theses tests as a kid! It’s funny watching as a dyslexia! People don’t understand us! If you can find that one good thing we do we will be the best at it!!!

[@maddygrabham136]

What subject do you like best? Recess Same

[@EmmysJourney]

Maddy Grabham mine is recess cuz I can go play and train my dog for 3 hours (I'm home schooled in also training a service dog by myself *I'm 12 * home school is fun )

[@hopefranklin7037]

I can understand the whole video, I have adhd and breaking the content helps a lot tbh.

[@hannahjackson839]

I'm 24 and remember doing this testing when I was younger and am dyslexic and watching I'm still getting them wrong haha

[@Puzzledrev]

I never could have sat through this at his age. I was fidgety as hell and would have been bored pretty quickly. What a nice boy he is.

[@Nostalgicguy2242]

What if the tester was female? How do you think you would had reacted?

[@16piecemcnuggetmeal18]

whats your favourite subject? 8 year old me: *recess*

[@justangela1684]

Now I remember being tested! Mom just told me I was gonna meet a friend of hers. I was so confused. I'm 19 now and I am so happy I was able to get the help and education I needed! To anyone who is dyslexic and is struggling, remember you are not stupid! I was called stupid and dumb. After a while I believed them even though I was alwas in honors and I graduated with high honors! Now I am in college taking courses to become an ESL teacher! You can do it! Please excuse any errors, I'm dyslexic.

[@fg14311]

Super informative video btw, I understand a lot more now

[@lutfi201190]

Really amazing! How wonderful the instructor is!

[@jenrobinson7883]

I found this video interesting to watch.

[@sunshine13546]

I had to do this at 15,I felt like a failure and baby because of how much I failed it. This brings back ptsd!

[@EkaraLibrae]

Love this! I wished I had that kind of education in the early 1970s when I was put into remedial classes/teaching - from standard 1 & 2 (intermediate) right through to high school.

[@disturbedcookies8141]

I’m not even focusing on the test, I’m focusing on how messy this mans hand writing is.

[@skinnypickles4299]

omg yesss

[@tekkerskody3119]

I know lol 😝

[@jameseenacoene7680]

That's ADHD. Not noticing the main thing but noticing something that someone else doesn't. It's not unusual to have both. I do.

[@disturbedcookies8141]

Jameseena Coene ive been wondering if i have adhd for a long time but i don’t want to self diagnose but my mom would never take me to the doctor for something like that. Even if i truly do have adhd it’s not quite to the point where it’s affecting my life so there would be no need for treatment :)

[@jameseenacoene7680]

@@disturbedcookies8141 more information is on KZbin. Put in find UDERSTOOD ADHD. it should come up with a man with a white beard. I thought this was very accurate and easy to understand. Good luck Avery.

[@aishamohammed3416]

OMG I cried watching this. This is so sad. May God help these kids.

[@SharkyATTACKS]

Dyslexia describes me well

[@TimothyMcGinnis-e6v]

A wonderful teacher and student, I am so impressed by the teacher and the student as a good example of positive relationship between a teacher and student. The student is very intelligent, wonderful, and must have very kind parents who also teach him well. The video is very good to help next-gen teacher understand how to build a teaching relationship with a student.

[@thecomplexion7524]

His writing is making is anxious and nervous and I’m not being tested

[@heatherw5566]

This was a very informative video. It was so interesting to watch the boy and his mannerisms and lack of being able to sit still. This was so fascinating to watch. Thank you.

[@Sealloser]

The worst week for a dyslexic kid ever 3/4/5 year

[@shoptalktoday5531]

This is amazing. I am a beginner special educator and I needed this

My favorite subject in school was getting the f out of there.

[@DARRENJOHNHARRIS1]

51 years old and I can’t spell to save my life. Wish I had this sort of support over 40 years ago. All I can say its a good job we have better Technology to help. I have spent a life time hiding this disability

[@laide5497]

I just realised I had on of these before, I just didn't understand why I was doing it

[@emilybengtson8772]

Thanks for this video. I tested in third grade which was 16 years ago and my little sister is testing next month. She was scared about it but this calmed her down.

[@omgitisem]

What’s your favourite subject, Recess😂😂 no hate. I probably said that when I was a child.

[@susiewelchman8658]

I’m so glad you put this information on KZbin! I have dyslexia and am a adult ,reading isn’t a problem now ,understanding people is great ,but I lose information at the during conversations ,it’s so hard as I find that so frustrating! What I try and do to get victory over it ,is key points how can I improve?
