The Dyslexia Institutes of America "Checklist for Dyslexia" can be a good educational tool concerning what symptoms may indicate a dyslexic condition. The checklist, however, cannot replace a medical diagnosis, nor is it a definitive indicator of the presence of dyslexia in a person.

With that in mind, you may want to answer the questions below, to get a general idea about the likelihood of the presence of dyslexia.

The "Checklist for Dyslexia" has a different focus for each of three separate age groups. Please choose the version of the checklist that is appropriate for your situation.

Checklist for Students in Kindergarten ~ 1st Grade
Checklist for Students in 2nd Grade ~ 12th Grade (High School Senior)
Checklist for Adults
