Many adults struggle with reading and writing but are unaware that they have dyslexia.
The Dysmate-A screening test is a quick and reliable tool for identifying dyslexia. The test takes around 40 minutes and it is suitable for remote testing of individuals or groups.The Dysmate-A consists of a screening test and a follow-up test. Individuals who are flagged by the screening test should be assessed further using the follow-up test.
The screening test consists of six sub-tests
The follow-up test consists of four sub-tests:
The evidence clearly demonstrates that Dysmate-A meets the highest international standards for reliability and validity.

It is critical to identify children at risk for dyslexia as early as possible.
A growing body of research demonstrates that children who receive appropriate support in Years 1 and 2 make twice the gains of those receiving the same support in Year 3. This benefit persists and children who receive early support continue to outperform those who receive it later.
The screening test takes around 40 minutes and it is suitable for remote testing of individuals or groups. The follow-up test takes 20 minutes and is taken in a one-to-one setting.
The screening test consists of several sub-tests, depending on the age of the child being tested.
The results from the standardisation and validation studies of the Dysmate- C test for children is published international peer-reviewed journals.
Many adolescents with dyslexia are missed due to a lack of robust testing procedures and norm-referenced screening tools. In addition, misconceptions persist around the idea that children somehow grow out of dyslexia as they reach their teenage years.
The Dysmate-Y test quickly and reliably identifies adolescents at risk of dyslexia, so that appropriate help and support can be provided.
The Dysmate-Y test for adolescents is similar to the Dysmate-A test for adults. The screening and the follow-up tests consist of the same sub-tests, but contain different items appropriate to the age group.
The screening test consists of six sub-tests
The follow-up test consists of four sub-tests:
The Dysmate tests were originally developed for The Tromsø Longitudinal Study of Dyslexia. The tests have since been developed further and standardised across different age groups.
