A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies .. the man who never reads only lives one”. (George R.R. Martin)
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is also known as a Specific Learning Disorder of Reading. It affects 5-15% of individuals and occurs in both adults and children. Dyslexia is essentially a reading disorder beginning in childhood which makes it difficult for individuals to read fluently and comprehend texts. Dyslexia is not a problem with comprehension.
Dyslexia is a neurological issue that is often inherited and stems from problems in the development of phonological processing. Parents and teachers often notice this difficulty by age seven, when the child is reading slowly with many mistakes.

Cognitive assessment (or intelligence testing) is used to determine an individual’s general thinking and reasoning abilities, also known as intellectual functioning or IQ. Intelligence testing can assess various domains of a person’s cognitive capacity.
The results of cognitive tests can provide a profile that can assist with the development of individualized intervention and learning plans for children Cognitive assessments with children require the administration of standardized psychometric tools by experienced and accredited psychologists. These tools can assess various areas of cognitive capacity, for example, Cognitive assessments with children help assist in the examination of:
• Intellectual Giftedness: a cognitive assessment will help to assess whether a child can access gifted and talented programs
• Diagnosing learning difficulties or disabilities in children: a cognitive assessment in conjunction with an educational assessment can assist in identifying the presence of a learning difficulty or disorder in children and help teachers make appropriate adjustments for students in the classroom.
• Intellectual difficulty or disability: an assessment will assist in identifying children with an intellectual disability, which is characterized by an IQ test score at least 2 standard deviations below the mean (this often equates to an IQ score of 70). Following an assessment, children and parents will have a better understanding of how an intellectual disability impacts the child’s ability to learn
