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 12 of 25.
This week: Auditory Sequencing
Auditory sequencing keeps sounds in the right order within a word. When it is underdeveloped, a child hears all the sounds of a word but assembles them differently: letters get swapped, syllables disappear, endings change. The standardized AFS-Test checks auditory sequencing with exercises built around sound order. Identifying and categorizing this area correctly matters, because sequencing errors look like carelessness but respond only to targeted function training.
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.
