In the box you will find questions related to the most frequent difficulties an adult with dyslexia experiences.

The research that had been held together with developing the questionnaire confirmed the variety of dyslexia-related difficulties. It also confirmed the need of individual approach to assessing and supporting each person.

It has to be highlighted that some difficulties associated with dyslexia are reported by individuals who do not have this disorder.

We underline that this tool does not diagnose dyslexia, it shows the problem’s scale and the result of this test may be an indication for further testing and diagnosing.
