Every Wednesday, we take you inside the AFS-Test, the standardized assessment that allows Certified Dyslexia Trainers to definitively diagnose and categorize dyslexia and dyscalculia. This is week 1 of 25.
This week: What Is the AFS-Test?
Do you suspect dyslexia or dyscalculia? The AFS-Test (Attention-Function-Symptom Test) is a standardized, comprehensive pedagogical assessment that has been used worldwide for more than 25 years. It allows Certified Dyslexia Trainers to definitively diagnose and categorize dyslexia and dyscalculia by looking at the three areas where they show: the attention span, the sensory perceptions, and the symptoms (errors) a child makes when reading, spelling, or calculating.
Over the next 25 weeks, we will walk you through every part of the test: the attention test, all eight sensory perception areas, the symptom tests for reading, spelling, and arithmetic, and everything that happens after testing, from the detailed evaluation to the educational report and the individualized training plan.
