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 13 of 25.
This week: Spatial Orientation
Letters and numbers live in space: b and d differ only by direction, 12 and 21 only by position, and writing itself moves from left to right. Spatial orientation also includes time: yesterday and tomorrow, before and after. A child with underdeveloped spatial orientation confuses directions, loses their place on the page, and struggles with place value in math. The standardized AFS-Test measures this area precisely, so that training can build stable spatial and temporal anchors.
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.
