I need a reference for the Word Chains Test of dyslexia?
I have used the WordChains test in one of my reports for uuni andi need a reference for it but cannot find one??
All i know is that it was by Hoien and Tonnesen (1997) Any one else know the rest of the reference??
If you already know the name of the creators of the test, its date and a description, you have enough for your report.
The other answer has nothing to do with your question.
I keep taking numbers from other problems and substituting them for the correct values. Is this dyslexia?
I am trying to do my math, but I keep switching numbers out when I take them from book to scratch paper.
Is this dyslexia?
It is not like im losing my place, it will have to be with the numbers from the same problem or from before, but they are in my head and will not leave. I cannot not remember them and I recall them into the number I am working with causing it to be written wrong. Like last problem I remember on the number was 190 and a wrote 119 because the numbers 90 and 19 were in the problem before it. or at least thats all i can figure.
This doesn’t quite sound like dyslexia. Numbers such as 9 may be confused with the letter P, or numbers may be interpreted backwards – 123 may be seen as 321.
Try using a ruler or strip of paper placed under the math problem you’re working on. It will help keep you from losing your place.
Relocating to the Houston area, which schools or districts are best for kids with special needs, dyslexia?
She is in 4th grade, has dyslexia.
Thank you for your answers and I am aware of that. I guess I am looking for schools that may have a reputation for serving these needs best, or if there are some places that have a reputation of performing poorly in this area. Thanks!
She’ll be in mainstream school, with some extra help.
That is a mild disability.
Mostly schools in prosperous suburbs are better resourced than those in poorer areas.
23 years old slipped through all the cracks has dyslexia any ideas?
My boyfriend is 23 has applied for ssi and also got denied. He has slipped through all the cracks with school and never graduated. We live in a small town and all the people who help with dyslexia only help people who are under the age of 18. Running out of ideas and not sure what to do he wants to get his GED and even the school says they don’t have the resources to help him. Any ideas at all would be very helpful.
Many public libraries have Adult Literacy Programs (teaching adults to read). You may want to check with your city and county libraries.
I don’t know where you live, but try this…they may help you locate a program that is appropriate for him:

Is there a "cure" for ADD and Dyslexia?
Is there a "cure" for ADD and Dyslexia?
I had problems with both of them in school and now want to go to college.
If no cure, then what can I do about them?
I really had a lot of problems reading the books. I have been to college and did not do well. They say it takes an avg person an hour or less to read a chapter in a text book. It takes me about four or five hrs. and I still have trouble comprehending it.
I have a ton of problems with math! I can’t comprehend numbers at all! I don’t even want to take a math class.
When it comes to Algebra, I really get lost and can’t understand it or do it at all.
I have failed Algebra I Twice in college. I had a tutor and I still can’t do it and failed it both times.
I need to do something else.
Doctors and Teachers have diagnosed me with both of these problems and it is documented in my old high school and with my old Doctor. One local college has told me that they can give me some help, such as getting the books on tape.
But is there an actual “CURE” for these things? Or at least some medication; or something better than Ritalin? That stuff did not help me much any way when I was on it in middle school.
There is not a ‘cure’ but there is improvement, and you learn to work around it. Go back to the doctor for ADD: I think there are other medications now. For your textbooks, learn through listening. Go to Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic: www.rfbd.org. You can get all your textbooks downloaded to your computer. If you follow along, your reading speed will pick up by listening and reading at the same time.
You can make it through college with audio books: thousands of people do it every year.
I flunked algebra three times before I made it through. Finally, I took a class that taught it a different way: it turns out I just can’t process it when it’s told to me, but a self-study book that was written for self-study made all the difference.
