    Which of the following assessment tools is specifically designed to identify key indicators of dyslexia in children?

    • The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)

    • The Dyslexia Screening Test (DST)

    • The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales

    • The Progressive Matrices Test

    Correct Answer
    A. The Dyslexia Screening Test (DST)
    Explanation
    The Dyslexia Screening Test (DST) is specifically designed to identify children at risk for dyslexia before they encounter significant difficulties. The DST assesses areas such as phonological awareness, verbal fluency, and rapid naming, which are key indicators of dyslexia. While the Wechsler and Stanford-Binet scales are general intelligence tests, and the Progressive Matrices Test focuses on non-verbal reasoning abilities, the DST directly targets the skills and areas typically challenging for those with dyslexia, making it a critical tool for early detection and intervention.

    Does Dyslexia have a cure?

    • Yes

    • No

    • Maybe

    • ?

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Dyslexia does not have a cure. It is a lifelong condition that affects a person's ability to read, write, and spell. However, there are various strategies and interventions that can help individuals with dyslexia manage their symptoms and improve their literacy skills. While these interventions can be highly effective, they do not completely eliminate the underlying difficulties associated with dyslexia. Therefore, it is important to understand that dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that cannot be cured, but can be managed and supported.

    Correct Answer
    A. Telephone
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "telephone" because the question states that there is an "ephelhone" in the bedroom, which is most likely a misspelling of "elephone." Since "elephone" is not a known word, the closest option is "telephone," which is a device commonly found in bedrooms.

    Does Dyslexia occur in one gender more than the other?

    • Boys

    • Girls

    • Both

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Boys
    Explanation
    Boys are more likely to be affected by dyslexia than girls. Research suggests that around 70-80% of individuals with dyslexia are male. This gender difference may be due to various factors, including differences in brain structure and development between males and females. Additionally, boys tend to be diagnosed with dyslexia at an earlier age compared to girls. However, it is important to note that dyslexia can still occur in girls, albeit at a lower frequency.

    What causes Dyslexia?

    • A virus

    • Genetics

    • Both

    • Other

    Correct Answer
    A. Genetics
    Explanation
    Dyslexia is primarily caused by genetic factors that affect how the brain processes language. It is often hereditary, with individuals having a family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities. This neurological condition is not caused by a virus or other external factors but is instead related to differences in the brain areas involved in reading and language processing. Research indicates that dyslexia involves functional and structural differences in the brain, particularly in the areas associated with key reading skills.
