We understand how confusing learning differences can be — especially when someone is clearly bright, capable, and trying their best, yet reading, spelling, or writing still feel harder than expected.
Our online “Is it Dyslexia?” test was developed using the same types of questions commonly explored with children, teens, and adults who seek help through the Davis® Mastery for Dyslexia program.
This screening looks beyond reading and spelling to explore how someone thinks and learns, including moments of disorientation — those times when stress, confusion, or overload make it harder to process information clearly. Because dyslexia isn’t just about words on a page.
Even today, dyslexia isn’t a word that’s commonly used in school systems or even by educational psychologists. And yet, having the word can be incredibly helpful. It gives families and adults a place to start — a way to research, ask better questions, and begin searching for answers that actually make sense.
While the primary focus of this screening is dyslexia, the results may also offer a glimpse into related areas of neurodivergence, such as attention differences, math-related challenges, and the impact learning struggles can have on confidence and self-esteem.
This test is not a diagnosis but will provide helpful insight. For many individuals, parents, and teachers, it’s a first step toward clarity — and the relief of realizing there’s a reason things have felt so hard… and that it can change.
