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 11 of 25.
This week: Auditory Memory
Auditory memory stores what we hear: instructions, dictated sentences, the sound of words. A child with underdeveloped auditory memory loses parts of a dictation on the way to the paper, forgets multi-step instructions, and struggles to hold new vocabulary. This has nothing to do with effort or intelligence. The standardized AFS-Test measures auditory memory precisely, so that training can strengthen exactly this storage system with daily, playful exercises.
About the AFS-Test
The standardized Attention-Function-Symptom Test has been used worldwide for more than 25 years. It examines the attention span, the sensory perceptions, and the error symptoms of a child, and turns the results into an individualized training plan following the AFS-Method.
