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 9 of 25.
This week: Visual Sequencing
Visual sequencing keeps things in order: the sequence of letters in a word, of digits in a number, of words in a line. When it is underdeveloped, letters swap places and ‘was’ becomes ‘saw’. The child is not careless: their processing of order is simply different. The standardized AFS-Test checks visual sequencing with exercises where order is everything. Once the cause is identified and categorized, sequencing can be trained systematically, and reading becomes noticeably more stable.
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.
