Psychologists in the field of dyslexia assess the level, type, and severity of dyslexia in the child by listening to the child’s reading. By examining the child’s cognitive functions while reading, they can determine the level, type, and severity of dyslexia.
This test evaluates various aspects such as reading speed, reading accuracy, comprehension rate according to age, reading errors, and various other aspects related to learning processes.
