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 15 of 25.
This week: Errors Are Information
Every error a child makes in reading or writing is a window into how their brain processes language. Error analysis, the S in the standardized AFS-Test, distinguishes perceptual errors from rule errors: did the child mishear the word, misremember its image, or simply not know the spelling rule? Each error type points to a different cause and calls for different training. This is why counting errors says so little, and analyzing them says almost everything.
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.
