AboutDaryl Taylor, BSc(Hons) Psychology Expertise As a former youth worker, working in the UK and as a Camp Counsellor in the US, I have volunteered and helped young people from all over the world. I have worked for two or three websites like this in the past since I was about 13/14 and I continue to do so now at the age of 23. I can answer problems on a whole range of issues from friends and family, to drugs, sex, alcohol and relationships etc.
Experience I have worked as a youth worker for local organisations, volunteered on this and other websites giving out information for about 8 years, volunteered at my college and university doing face to face counselling and I have recently worked for an organisation in the UK which specialises in helping young people aged 13-19 to make positive decisions in their lives. I have featured in a UK based magazine called Aim Higher as a case study to show triumpth through adversity and I have recieved an Adult Learner's Award for my pioneering work at college.
Question Hi i'mn wondering if you could offer me a free onlin dyslexia test or knowg of how i can take one..?
Answer Hey Jim,
I have managed to find an website offering a free dyslexia test, but regardless of the outcome for the condition to be diagnosed you would need to be assessed by a doctor who would have to carry out more tests. The website is:
The website is a UK based one, but at the top of the page there is a linke for 'Other Countries' that should have more relavent information to you if you are not from the UK.
These online tests are not very helpful and I would be very wary of taking any of the results they give you, either positive or negative. Instead, if you suspect that you may have dsylexia, then talking to a doctor or someone at school/college can help you. There are various severities of Dyslexia and there are other forms of learning difficulties that are not the same as the condition and need to be addressed differently and that is why it is important that you always get checked out by a doctor, to ensure you get the appropriate treatment and support you need.
You may also find the link below helpful which explains more about diagnosing and testing for Dyslexia.
