Developmental reading disorder
Alternate Names : Dyslexia
Symptoms & Signs
- Difficulty determining the meaning (idea content) of a simple sentence
- Difficulty learning to recognize written words
- Difficulty rhyming
- May occur in combination with writing or arithmetic learning problems
Diagnosis & Tests
The first step is to perform a complete medical (both physical and neurologic), developmental, social, school performance, and family history. These may be followed by psychoeducational testing and psychological assessment. Other causes of learning disabilities will need to be ruled out before the diagnosis of DRD can be confirmed.
