Hi
I feel as though i have been lied to, and basically i want know what is actually involved in a dyslexia screening? Because apparently i was screened by an optometrist, and i don't believe it. according to the optometrist, i am not dyslexic, yet i have many symptoms of dyslexics and one of my school teachers believes i am and she is trained in screening for dyslexia.
Please help me uncover the truth so i can reach my full potential!
Thanks

Why is this posted in Women's Health?

But here is the answer:

an optometrist is NOT qualified to test for dyslexia.

And it takes a thorough evaluation, not a screening to diagnose this condition.

Professionals who can diagnose it are psychologist and special education teachers, not general education teachers. Usually, a speech-language pathologist is also a part of the evaluation team
