Inside a Dyslexia Evaluation 

Yeah, I bet most of boys his age can't stand sitting that long doing difficult and boring tasks

I have ADHD my parents just raised me to be polite so I always am but still he was good

He seats like he was at home

That is because no one wants him to feel like a snowflake.

True

EXTRA I noticed too maybe for him to remember that the boy had a hard time on that part..

EXTRA I KNOW RIGHT

He could have just wrote unsure

unsii i it shows the kids thinking process and unsure wouldn’t have gotten that, unsure would have been a shrug, writing it down shows that he though about it and was thinking and through and eventually got to the correct answer

Michael Scott said the same thing 😂

Harriet Jones - I know, I loved that...😂😍

Harriet Jones mine is recess cuz I can have 2 hours to train my dog everyday sometimes I have 3 hours 😊 (I'm home schooled)

It made me sad. He said he likes it the most probably bc he struggles with learning and gets a break

The Squirrel / MaddyMars most dyslexics also may have ADHD so that might be the cause

TheMagician yea I have dyslexia and ADHD it’s just so entertaining, love the video though, sent it to my perents

Ofc! He's a kid. Can't expect most kids to be sitting still for 20 minutes haha

The Squirrel that's what I do. 😂

He has entirely correctable retained primitive reflexes, which should be addressed asap, not to do so is bordering on neglect.

Sofia I'm not dyslexic

That rude very rude

I don't have dyslexia, but I have a problem with sarcasm. It's the only thing I do

No

Meredith Heal how?

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.

Asshole...

And beautiful gorgeous, I am 23 and will babysit him for free 😍😍

Regina Reece creepy

@@evanessence1085 I think Regina might be a guy

@Erika Alumno Secutec 1 i agree. Friend of mine has dyslexia, and he's very smart

@@Nostalgicguy2242 he's too old for babysitting lol

Jordan Also Not Knowing To Spell Is Hard In High School

I am AL i hate reading out loud in class myself. In Art History 2 class, one week we had to read a passage from the projector in class. I struggled a bit. Some girl started at me , wondering I couldn’t read or why I’m reading so slow. Can you blame a sista for being a nervous wreck when called upon to read a five sentence passage.

Yep. I'm there with ya.

michael I'd agree. As well as when your teachers keep telling you that you're not trying hard enough, but you are.

I was never diagnosed and I’ve been going through high school with it. I’m right now in advanced English and am struggling because I can’t keep up with the reading but I need to get the credits

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.

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 :)

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.

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

Hi Victoria, thanks for your comment. We will share this feedback with our editorial team.

@@UnderstoodOrg Thank you! I would really like nny husband to be tested but we can't afford it 🤗

Was this ever done? It would be extremely helpful

Im just imagining an adult moving around the same way as the kid.

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

MGsquared colorblindness

@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever what word did they misspell

Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever colour is not the way we spell color here in America. He did not misspell it at all. You just need to know that we spell things different here in the US, like realize versus realise.

Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever Misspell | mis’spel | Verb (past and past participle *misspelt* or *misspelled* ) [with object] Spell (a word) incorrectly That is the entire definition for the word misspell. A quick search on google was all you had to do. I don’t feel like arguing over the internet with what seems to be an irrational child just because people spell things differently. Have a good day.

@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever Oxford dictionary: misspell VERB [WITH OBJECT] Spell (a word) wrongly. ‘‘siege’ had been misspelt as ‘seige’’ Pronunciation misspell /mɪsˈspɛl/

Have students read to a dog. The dog will not make fun of the students when they get stuck on a word. Don't use a border colie dog. They are smarter than most people.They might herd the kids out of the room.

What is recess

@@Jake-pc1fl break time, when kids can play and fool around

I like brake and lunch that's it as I had deslexia and I got bullied am not good all cuz I couldn't read and Wright

Kate D brake time when they go out side and play for 10 or 15 minutes

Mines home time hun

That boy has really bad dyslexia because my spelling is nearly the same as him even tho im a 1st year dyslexic

Ya it can include stuff like missing letters, seeing different letters, scramble letters, and words from the line below or above.

Yeah most people can cope with it as they get older like most of the people in my classes don’t know I’m dyslexic

This has been helpful I’m struggling with my child with dyslexia

i know how you feel man, im in colledge and i still have trouble writing.

i know how you feel man, im in colledge and i still have trouble writing.

Ada Norberg I feel like I have it but I’m 20

17 me to🙂

I was diagnosed since after I was was born!!

Im 33 now and had all (still do) the same issues as you. For me I talk in a circle and repeat myself, Haha And I had stress flashbacks just watching Zeke take this test. But you are so right, on the nero wiring, and some of it is also people like us have issues so we have adapt to function too.

Dreamseller112 my school didn’t believe me for two years since I got B’s and A’s and had to get 2 tests done for no reason when I already had and official test the year before

Well done!

I think educational youtube videos are a great help to people with dyslexia for learning different subjects.

I heard that people who cannot rely on written words to help them remember something often have a much better memory. I was an early reader and good at that and writing, but forget about memorizing anything. We all have our strengths and weaknesses that way.

Omg I realised I have the same issue

I feel the exact same way sending love and prayers

same problem many people treated me in badly and my parents also 😔

I rember having a test as that. I had 4 hoirscsnd the rest of the day off

Hi Amerikinz14, thanks for your comment. We'll share your feedback with our editorial team.

Understood Okay thank you:)

Yes please!!

Specific lol

i would like to see this too!!!

Wow

I am 62. When I was in school, it was apparent there was a problem, but no one put a name to it or could get me the proper help. I got through it, though. Now I finally know.

That is great progress!

I found something similar happened to me and my teachers say it’s because once you learn the words you don’t have to process them at all they just go straight to being pictures in ur mind and this means you can read faster and better

How did you do that? My daughter is in grade 6, I tried my best and did a lot to try to help her, but she doesn't have significant improvements . I'm so heart broken when I see her struggling

It was adorable and honest answer

It breaks my heart that school sucks the creativity and enthusiasm out of these young kids...

Goodwill hunting... “ the bar scene”

Everyone said that in 5th grade lmao

JayJumbledVids I feel you

And the microphone thing through siri, say the word and it'll spell out. Biggest lifesaver when you don't even get close to the correct word for autocorrect to fix it

@@zaramilton1480 OMG!!!!! I can tell you how many times I use this and how much it has saved my ass. HAHA When I first got Siri and found out about it you could probably see my excitement haha.

@JayJumbledVids The test is the same as the one I took 20+ years ago. Thou I didnt have to do the colour thing, but saying the fake words still fills me with dread.

Milly M When I was at school I always remember some sort of shrink asking me “ So if you woke up one morning and you wasn’t dyslexic anymore, what would be the first thing you would do”? And I said “ how would I know?, I don’t take a spelling test as soon as I wake to see if I am or not” what did she think? That Dyslexic people sense there Dyslexia constantly and would notice if it went straight alway, like if I had no legs and they grew back over night! What was the point of that question!

Milly M I felt sorry for him when they ask him to spell words. That is and was my hardest thing to do.

Same.

Same I had to do it twice I was so bored

The Loudest Killjoy good for you! :)

What do you feel has helped you make progress?

That's good. Btw I love your username and profile pic

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

I laughed at that part 😂 what a cutie

frankygrime am I supposed to know who that is

Kimberley H Same here with the b and d confusion

how old were you though? This boy is 7 or 8

ConcreteAngelx3 around the same age as the kid.

oh hmm pretty sure you should outgrow that by 6 or there is a problem.. but if you just naturally grew out of it that is good

I had the same problem with b's and d's and how: 9's and P's, 5's and S's, and C's were written and which were which. I also couldn't read numbers off a board, like if 5679 was written I couldn't read it as Five thousand six hundred and seventy-nine. I've grown out of it kinda, occasionally Ill still get confused with which way some letters are written and with numbers now its just longer numbers, I was never tested for Dyslexia.

Ava Flood sun sets west

Anon Anon THANK YOU

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

ConcreteAngelx3 That would make sense

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

omg yesss

I know lol 😝

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.

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 :)

@@disturbedcookies8141 more information is on RU-vid. 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.

MarbleGray I love books, I always did. But I have dislexia. I have problems with spelling and reading out loud. If I am reading silently for myself I will guess the word (I get the word from the context) But when I have to read out loud I can't do that so I slow down and I make mistakes. So loving books is possible evan if you are dislexic.

Ohhh huh! See that's even more interesting.. Well I'm super super glad you love to read because books are awesome! Thank you for letting me know! (:

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.

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

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 ...

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 )

Same.... hey my name is Kasey I have been on RU-vid looking into dyslexia and I think I may have it..... my brother and father have it and I’m struggling in school...... my parents think I’m completely fine and i have asked about it and they said I’m all good... I REALLY think I have it..... What do I do.. asking a few people

Casey Mega i feel like if i ask school to look into it they’ll say i don’t have it but i really feel like o do

a j same I really think I have it.. as I have said my brother and father have it and I’m scared to say it to anyone..... I’ve felt that I’ve had it since I was like 7 I’m now 12 and it’s really bothering me

They should do a test on everyone in a school to check

I struggle to form sentences, i get half way through and then mix words together, i might say " But then the walk not, wait no, completed, no fi- done ugh! Parks boring!" I might be trying to say "i hate going to the park if I am alone cos it is boring to walk alone" And " I need to finish this first" at the same time

Hi, Thanks for reaching out. Many people discover they have learning and attention issues as an adult, and you're not alone. Adult evaluations for learning and attention issues must be completed in person by a qualified professional, like a psychologist, doctor, or learning behavior specialist. This can be done at a community mental health agencies, counseling or study skills center at a local college or university, or a local hospital-based program. Here’s some information on who can evaluate adults for learning and attention issues: u.org/296krKp If the evaluation is not covered by your insurance or if you don't have insurance, there are two other things that could help you find an evaluation at a reduced cost: 1. Find out if any local universities with graduate programs in special education or psychology have clinics that conduct evaluations. These are often offered at substantially reduced cost. 2. Check with your local county or state adult education office. They may know of private practitioners who perform evaluations on a sliding scale or at reduced cost. You may want to consider connecting with these organizations in your area: LDA: ldaamerica.org/support/state-local-affiliates/ IDA: eida.org/ida-branches/ We hope this helps.

Haha thank you for the reply and information. I may look into it in the future but I'm not all too worried about diagnosis currently. I don't let it hold me back, I may sometimes read books a little slower than others or make more spelling mistakes than others at times, but it doesn't nor will it stop my love for reading and writing.

🤣

I would have hugged him for a long time after that 🤗🤗😍😍😍

MrCoolflames imo it does not. M and n are different sounds. The o in those words may sound the same, but not the n and m. I think it would rhyme in a rap, but they arent words that rhyme. I think there are different ways to spell rhyme because there are different veraions of rhyming. Lol

I consider it a slant rhyme

MrCoolflames I think it does

m and n have different sounds so I don’t think so, but if the test isn’t referring to rhyming meaning the end of a word but just a part of a word, then yes they rhyme.

“Home” and “phone” do not rhyme. In order for words to rhyme, the nucleus (vowel) and the coda (consonant(s) after the vowel) must be the same. Only the vowel sound /o/ is the same in these two words.

I'm soo faced with this issue 😣 I always based stupidity with me being unable to recal words fast enough.

@@Zen_Zen_Zense people can be ignorant , but sincerely I didn't give a cheap when I used to struggle reading and hacking and saying words ,I mean most of it is gone, but its just sometimes that I brought out a word and I get lost in it. So yep feel ya

Jules 33 I have ADD not easy 😂 can never sit still

Arm chair physiatrist here. Maybe you could give him a prescription.

It’s common with dyslexics, I’m dyslexic and don’t suffer with ADD but I know many dyslexics that do suffer.

I don’t think so because a commen trait of dyslexia is lack of concentration because when I did my dyslexia test the lady asked me if I lacked concentration and I said oh yeah that’s what I get in trouble in school the most

Jules 33 I think he might have ADHD

same

now i only read words wrong and when i tipe i think in my head i wrote that word right and when i look at what i wrote it shoud look like this (when) but it looks like this (ewhn) or (wehn) ...

Xpert_Destroyer 4 here’s a curve ball. Through, though, thought, taught, taunt, thought, and tough, all look the same to me and I’m sure I forgot another word that looks the same. Ring and wring I confuse. ware, where, witch, which, and when, is another grouping. I struggle with together until (intill?) about a month ago when my friend showed me to-get-her together spells together. I would commonly to tougher as together. Muscle, mussel looks the same. Oddly enough I don’t confuse the difference between theatre and theater. Theatre: plays in an auditorium. Theater: you watch movies on the big screen. I’m going to stop now because I can rant longer. EDIT: Did you realize I typed thought twice at the beginning, I just realized this just now
