Take an interest in non structer learning like artistic things. Or creative wrighting.

Watching this evaluation was eye-opening to the skills the student needs to complete each task you gave for the student to complete!! The Evaluator was non-judgmental during each segment of the evaluation, and praised him frequently, and told the word to the student if he was stuck. That made a difference in helping the student to continue with a good effort! The calm tone and sometimes playful tone of voice from the Evaluator was very helpful too, and encouraged the student to believe that it was ok to make some mistakes. Very helpful!!! Thank you!
Reading out loud in school was hell. I was bullied so much when I would have to read out loud. If it was popcorn reading other kids would pick on me just to laugh at me. My mom refused to get me tested for dyslexia because she thought I would be discriminated to get a job. It made school hell, but a few teachers who knew about dyslexia and could see my struggles they would make accommodations for me. Some teachers were able to get someone to read questions and answers on a test. I scored at least 10% better with this simple accommodated!
Have students read to a dog. The dog will not make fun of the students when they get stuck on a word. Don't use a border colie dog. They are smarter than most people.They might herd the kids out of the room.
I have dyslexia but it was not diagnosed until I was 17. It would have helped a lot if it was noticed earlier as I had hell of a time getting through the education system..
I have dyslexia. This wasn't how I was evaluated... It was less personal, but I'm so glad that I have been diagnosed. If you believed that you may have it, or that your child may have it, have a test. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a positive, rather than a negative!
I have dyslexia & ADHD and watching this video was so cool! I am now 22 and was diagnosed when I was 8, and I remember being tested during the school day & then leaving for the rest of the day because I was so mentally drained. However I don’t really remember the actual testing done on me so this was so interesting to see!
I love this video. I went through this ever other year in school. To think that I thought I was made to feel stupid, when ready they wanted to help me. This video is as real as it gets! He’s moving around so much because he’s uncomfortable, frustrated, and he’s starting to over think the “test”. Dyslexia is a challenge at first but but the older you get, you learn how to work with it. If you know anyone with dyslexia, just be patient with us please we’re already frustrated with ourselves we don’t need you frustrated with us to lol
I just started working with a Clinic that works with children with reading disabilities. And watching this makes me have more compassion for children that I know who most definitely have learning challanges. I love what I do and I have never ever had a job, where i could say that. God is good. God Bless all who help children and adults to be the best that they can be.
Cool and informative video. Could you please make a video about an inside look of an Autism (ASD) evaluation for high schoolers, specially? I feel like that would help people who are on the spectrum. Thanks:)
I had hundreds of these tests they would stress me out so much because I was so shy and my anxiety I'm now 19 and still struggle to spell so I have to speaking to my phone so it writes it out for me only four years ago I started reading properly I never read a book fully until last year and it was one of my mom's books I was so proud of myself
I have dyslexia. Found that out only as an adult coz when i was a child, there were no such tests. School was nightmare coz the teachers and classmates treated me badly, as though i was mentaly impaired and would be stupid for my entire life. Only in my later years in school, in boarding school, people realized that something was up. I never opened a book to study in dorm, but i always managed to score avarage or above which made no sense to most of my classmates who studied long hours in front of books before exams. In one of the tests in biology, i was also the only one out of 50 to ansver one particular question correctly. The teacher read my ansver and and made everyone write it down. My test scores depended a lot on how good was the teacher teaching and explaining in class, and not the amount of hours i spent studying on my own. I remembered very well what i heard, but i could never remember well what i read coz i strugled so much with reading. Now that i am aware of my dyslexia, its also easier for me to manage it coz now i know my weak points.
I heard that people who cannot rely on written words to help them remember something often have a much better memory. I was an early reader and good at that and writing, but forget about memorizing anything. We all have our strengths and weaknesses that way.
This video is exactly what I needed. I spent several hours trying to find tests for dyslexic kids and this one is the best and most structured. Plus I was unsure that the boy I'm teaching is dyslexic. But when I saw the test now I'm sure he is. Thank you guys ❤🖤🧡💛💚
I have dyslexia and what this video thought me is that they still use the same test I was tested for dyslexia when I was in the third grade my parents already knew I had it at a very young age but the school wouldn't test me till I was in third in 2009 that was 9 years ago so the test really does work and also to any kids that have dyslexia auto correct is going to be your best friend and you can do anything no matter your learning problems
And the microphone thing through siri, say the word and it'll spell out. Biggest lifesaver when you don't even get close to the correct word for autocorrect to fix it
@@zaramilton1480 OMG!!!!! I can tell you how many times I use this and how much it has saved my ass. HAHA When I first got Siri and found out about it you could probably see my excitement haha.
@JayJumbledVids The test is the same as the one I took 20+ years ago. Thou I didnt have to do the colour thing, but saying the fake words still fills me with dread.
Absolutely fantastic! I was born in 1944 and at that time, no one had any idea about Dyslexia, so I ended up with glasses at the age of 13. I loved watching this little boys face. At 18 I felt I had to find out what was going on before I hit college. So I forced myself to read one book each week, off the New York Times best seller list. I hated school and book reports were hours and weeks of torture. I am now a very fast reader and I can read upside down and backward. To me, letters are pictures. I still have a problem with numbers and will almost always reverse the last two numbers in a group. My big surprise was learning in my late teens, that my problem was not visual, but neurological. People see a Dyslexic as lazy and dumb. I hated math and loved algebra. Algebra was a puzzle and gave me time to think. Fortunately, one of my teachers suggested my Parents have me tested. The IQ test proved that I was more than capable of making this all work out. Now at 76 I am living in a foreign country and learning a new language. It is a big challenge. But then, so is life. You need a sense of humor. Great Video!!!!!!
I am 62. When I was in school, it was apparent there was a problem, but no one put a name to it or could get me the proper help. I got through it, though. Now I finally know.
Think I have dyslexia but have never been diagnosed I used to read like this boy and had a very hard time learning after a lot of work and a neighbor helping me with Phoenix I am now an member of National Honors Society and I am going to graduate in the spring of 2019. Even though it is difficult reading and writing we can accomplish anything we want. It is just another challenge to face!
I just got my evaluation for the second time and they said I am making really good progress and I'm probably going to be taken off of the IEP model really soon
Dear God... When Zeke was taking that test I had flashbacks to taking a similar type of test 20+ years ago. I hated it... Haha I had similar issues to Zeke when I was young but I think he'll be just fine. Once he finds a subject that interests him, he'll do great. There is a good number of dyslexics who do great at math, science, and art. Word of Advice Dont give up Zeke (and to all other dyslexic people and parents of ones who have it); it may seem hard at times but dont let it get to you or put you down. There are many of us just like you in the world and there is no shame in having dyslexia. And I wish you luck, but I dont think youll be needing it. ^_^
As someone who struggles with Dyslexia, I feel for the boy. Back when I was growing up no one knew really anything about it and so people who have it were labeled as slow. The struggle was bad and real then. At least now kids have better resources.
I enjoyed everything about this video through my tear filled eyes. As someone who works in the education field with children, I appreciate the work he does and the demeanor he has while doing it. I wish I had someone like him in my corner when I was raising my dyslexic child. I am a dyslexic as well and wish I had a coach like him to help give me the confidence I needed when I was younger. I believe this kind of work has the power to change the world.
Milly M When I was at school I always remember some sort of shrink asking me “ So if you woke up one morning and you wasn’t dyslexic anymore, what would be the first thing you would do”? And I said “ how would I know?, I don’t take a spelling test as soon as I wake to see if I am or not” what did she think? That Dyslexic people sense there Dyslexia constantly and would notice if it went straight alway, like if I had no legs and they grew back over night! What was the point of that question!
I wasn't told that I have dyslexia until I was in my late 30's. I think this is a good video. I would like for more experts to concentrate on the difficulty people with dyslexia have with Math and Geography. That child is adorable. Reminds me of how frustrating school was for me.
I was a child in the sixties my teacher told me I was just lazy I took no testing no nothing just told I was lazy finally I just taught myself how to read
This took me back to primary school and Like this kid I used to get confused with lowercase b and d and which way the number 5 was written so I got tested for dyslexia and It turned out I didn’t have it and eventually I outgrew most of my learning problems.
I had the same problem with b's and d's and how: 9's and P's, 5's and S's, and C's were written and which were which. I also couldn't read numbers off a board, like if 5679 was written I couldn't read it as Five thousand six hundred and seventy-nine. I've grown out of it kinda, occasionally Ill still get confused with which way some letters are written and with numbers now its just longer numbers, I was never tested for Dyslexia.
I was terrible in primary school. I'm 37 now, with a PhD in Engineering and I still can't read out loud well. My self esteem improved a lot when they stopped asking me to read in front of the whole class. Now, I love to read to my kids. Even thought my 6 year old daughter reads better than me and picks up every mistake.
All of these things I have struggled with for my entire life, and never once did I have a teacher step in and suggest that I be evaluated for dyslexia. It wasn't until I was in college that a professor suggest that I be evaluated for it, but by that point I was off on my own, with no way to pay for an evaluation. I always just thought I was stupid, now I realize I'm not stupid at all, my brain just processes information differently. I just wish I would have had the tools, and resources to help me do my best when I was in school.
That kid was me when I was little. I'm able to cope a lot better now thanks to some awesome teachers when I was in 5th grade. Wish I had a teacher to help throughout the rest of school though.
Now I remember being tested! Mom just told me I was gonna meet a friend of hers. I was so confused. I'm 19 now and I am so happy I was able to get the help and education I needed! To anyone who is dyslexic and is struggling, remember you are not stupid! I was called stupid and dumb. After a while I believed them even though I was alwas in honors and I graduated with high honors! Now I am in college taking courses to become an ESL teacher! You can do it! Please excuse any errors, I'm dyslexic.
I often look at kids and think of how will they look like as adults and upon looking at this very cute kid I realised that he could very well look like Dr. Cruger!☺️ Same face, same sweetness about them! This is a wonderful clip!
Jameseena Coene ive been wondering if i have adhd for a long time but i don’t want to self diagnose but my mom would never take me to the doctor for something like that. Even if i truly do have adhd it’s not quite to the point where it’s affecting my life so there would be no need for treatment :)
@@disturbedcookies8141 more information is on UA-cam. Put in find UDERSTOOD ADHD. it should come up with a man with a white beard. I thought this was very accurate and easy to understand. Good luck Avery.
Maddy Grabham mine is recess cuz I can go play and train my dog for 3 hours (I'm home schooled in also training a service dog by myself *I'm 12 * home school is fun )
This is so interesting to watch because from a young age I've been obsessed with books.. It's cool to learn about how other people view it. To me books and sentences are scenes that you become part of- That doesn't happen easily for everyone I suppose!
MarbleGray I love books, I always did. But I have dislexia. I have problems with spelling and reading out loud. If I am reading silently for myself I will guess the word (I get the word from the context) But when I have to read out loud I can't do that so I slow down and I make mistakes. So loving books is possible evan if you are dislexic.
Again, I am yet another book loving dyslexic. People, including parents and teachers, found it interesting as I showed few obvious signs. My parents are teachers and my dad has worked with children with learning difficulties like dyslexia for numerous years so I'm a bit of an odd one.
When I was 6 it took me one minute to be able to decode a sentence. At first I didn't like books but my mother managed to find one I actually enjoyed. We sat with my sister (who also has dyslexia) and we read it aloud for hours on end. It was sort of a game for us. We didn't know we had dyslexia at the time. Turns out that practicing reading and playing an instrument really helps dyslexic individuals. Now you wouldn't even know I have dyslexia unless you took a look at my latest class test ...
I understand this kid so much! I did theses tests as a kid! It’s funny watching as a dyslexia! People don’t understand us! If you can find that one good thing we do we will be the best at it!!!
My "evaluation" went on for over 8 hours and focused on the things that I struggled at the most in my young life. It's still fun to read the report to this day... how would you like to read your "deficiencies" summarized as clinically as possible. It makes it clear that there is something different between you and "them"..... good thing we're "all inclusive" ay....
I’ve had to do these tests three times. First time I figured out I was dyslexic Second time I figured out I was dyscalculia Third time they lost my test results so I had to do it all again to get my IEP back.
Man... I so needed you when I was a kid. I will never forget my struggles reading a USA Today newspaper..and unable to finish it without crying and shaking. Ugh so horrible.
51 years old and I can’t spell to save my life. Wish I had this sort of support over 40 years ago. All I can say its a good job we have better Technology to help. I have spent a life time hiding this disability
A wonderful teacher and student, I am so impressed by the teacher and the student as a good example of positive relationship between a teacher and student. The student is very intelligent, wonderful, and must have very kind parents who also teach him well. The video is very good to help next-gen teacher understand how to build a teaching relationship with a student.
I don’t think so because a commen trait of dyslexia is lack of concentration because when I did my dyslexia test the lady asked me if I lacked concentration and I said oh yeah that’s what I get in trouble in school the most
This is interesting, the guy is really good with the boy. My son is dyslexia and it is tough to keep him still, he wouldn't like people writing things down about him during tests. It's great if the child can learn strategies to cope better.
Thanks for this video. I tested in third grade which was 16 years ago and my little sister is testing next month. She was scared about it but this calmed her down.
How is nobody talking about how amazing this little boy was? So polite and sweet even when it’s obvious that he was uncomfortable
Yeah, I bet most of boys his age can't stand sitting that long doing difficult and boring tasks
I have ADHD my parents just raised me to be polite so I always am but still he was good
He seats like he was at home
That is because no one wants him to feel like a snowflake.
True
I’m dyslexic myself so I can relate. I thought the teacher doing the test was very kind and never made the boy feel embarrassed or stupid. I wish there had been someone like him for me when I was at school.
What’s you favourite subject? Recess ... lol that killed me
Ayyy
Michael Scott said the same thing 😂
Harriet Jones - I know, I loved that...😂😍
Harriet Jones mine is recess cuz I can have 2 hours to train my dog everyday sometimes I have 3 hours 😊 (I'm home schooled)

He has entirely correctable retained primitive reflexes, which should be addressed asap, not to do so is bordering on neglect.

That boy has really bad dyslexia because my spelling is nearly the same as him even tho im a 1st year dyslexic
Ya it can include stuff like missing letters, seeing different letters, scramble letters, and words from the line below or above.
Yeah most people can cope with it as they get older like most of the people in my classes don’t know I’m dyslexic
This has been helpful I’m struggling with my child with dyslexia
His spelling make sense just not correct. I'm dyslexia and I understood his spelling 😮😮

The calm tone and sometimes playful tone of voice from the Evaluator was very helpful too, and encouraged the student to believe that it was ok to make some mistakes. Very helpful!!! Thank you!
i dont even know this kid but i feel so proud. you can really tell he was trying his best, and honestly did pretty well over all.
I think the kid is pretty smart to be honest regardless of his dyslexia
And beautiful gorgeous, I am 23 and will babysit him for free 😍😍
Regina Reece creepy
@@evanessence1085 I think Regina might be a guy
@Erika Alumno Secutec 1 i agree. Friend of mine has dyslexia, and he's very smart
@@Nostalgicguy2242 he's too old for babysitting lol
"what subject do you like the best?"
"recess"
WHY IS THAT ME THOUGH
What is recess
@@Jake-pc1fl break time, when kids can play and fool around
I like brake and lunch that's it as I had deslexia and I got bullied am not good all cuz I couldn't read and Wright
Kate D brake time when they go out side and play for 10 or 15 minutes
Mines home time hun
am i the only non-dyslexic here
Sofia I'm not dyslexic
That rude very rude
I don't have dyslexia, but I have a problem with sarcasm. It's the only thing I do
No
Meredith Heal how?
Reading out loud in school was hell. I was bullied so much when I would have to read out loud. If it was popcorn reading other kids would pick on me just to laugh at me. My mom refused to get me tested for dyslexia because she thought I would be discriminated to get a job. It made school hell, but a few teachers who knew about dyslexia and could see my struggles they would make accommodations for me. Some teachers were able to get someone to read questions and answers on a test. I scored at least 10% better with this simple accommodated!
Have students read to a dog. The dog will not make fun of the students when they get stuck on a word. Don't use a border colie dog. They are smarter than most people.They might herd the kids out of the room.
I have dyslexia but it was not diagnosed until I was 17. It would have helped a lot if it was noticed earlier as I had hell of a time getting through the education system..
i know how you feel man, im in colledge and i still have trouble writing.
i know how you feel man, im in colledge and i still have trouble writing.
Ada Norberg I feel like I have it but I’m 20
17 me to🙂
I was diagnosed since after I was was born!!
I have dyslexia. This wasn't how I was evaluated... It was less personal, but I'm so glad that I have been diagnosed. If you believed that you may have it, or that your child may have it, have a test. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a positive, rather than a negative!
I have dyslexia & ADHD and watching this video was so cool! I am now 22 and was diagnosed when I was 8, and I remember being tested during the school day & then leaving for the rest of the day because I was so mentally drained. However I don’t really remember the actual testing done on me so this was so interesting to see!
I rember having a test as that. I had 4 hoirscsnd the rest of the day off
I love this video. I went through this ever other year in school. To think that I thought I was made to feel stupid, when ready they wanted to help me. This video is as real as it gets! He’s moving around so much because he’s uncomfortable, frustrated, and he’s starting to over think the “test”. Dyslexia is a challenge at first but but the older you get, you learn how to work with it.
If you know anyone with dyslexia, just be patient with us please we’re already frustrated with ourselves we don’t need you frustrated with us to lol
I just started working with a Clinic that works with children with reading disabilities. And watching this makes me have more compassion for children that I know who most definitely have learning challanges. I love what I do and I have never ever had a job, where i could say that. God is good. God Bless all who help children and adults to be the best that they can be.
Cool and informative video. Could you please make a video about an inside look of an Autism (ASD) evaluation for high schoolers, specially? I feel like that would help people who are on the spectrum. Thanks:)
Hi Amerikinz14, thanks for your comment. We'll share your feedback with our editorial team.
Understood Okay thank you:)
Yes please!!
Specific lol
i would like to see this too!!!
I had hundreds of these tests they would stress me out so much because I was so shy and my anxiety I'm now 19 and still struggle to spell so I have to speaking to my phone so it writes it out for me only four years ago I started reading properly I never read a book fully until last year and it was one of my mom's books I was so proud of myself
Well done!
This man seems very educated and professional props to him
I have dyslexia. Found that out only as an adult coz when i was a child, there were no such tests. School was nightmare coz the teachers and classmates treated me badly, as though i was mentaly impaired and would be stupid for my entire life. Only in my later years in school, in boarding school, people realized that something was up. I never opened a book to study in dorm, but i always managed to score avarage or above which made no sense to most of my classmates who studied long hours in front of books before exams. In one of the tests in biology, i was also the only one out of 50 to ansver one particular question correctly. The teacher read my ansver and and made everyone write it down. My test scores depended a lot on how good was the teacher teaching and explaining in class, and not the amount of hours i spent studying on my own. I remembered very well what i heard, but i could never remember well what i read coz i strugled so much with reading. Now that i am aware of my dyslexia, its also easier for me to manage it coz now i know my weak points.
I think educational youtube videos are a great help to people with dyslexia for learning different subjects.
I heard that people who cannot rely on written words to help them remember something often have a much better memory. I was an early reader and good at that and writing, but forget about memorizing anything. We all have our strengths and weaknesses that way.
Omg I realised I have the same issue
I feel the exact same way sending love and prayers
same problem many people treated me in badly and my parents also 😔
This video is exactly what I needed. I spent several hours trying to find tests for dyslexic kids and this one is the best and most structured. Plus I was unsure that the boy I'm teaching is dyslexic. But when I saw the test now I'm sure he is. Thank you guys ❤🖤🧡💛💚
I have dyslexia and what this video thought me is that they still use the same test I was tested for dyslexia when I was in the third grade my parents already knew I had it at a very young age but the school wouldn't test me till I was in third in 2009 that was 9 years ago so the test really does work and also to any kids that have dyslexia auto correct is going to be your best friend and you can do anything no matter your learning problems
JayJumbledVids I feel you
And the microphone thing through siri, say the word and it'll spell out. Biggest lifesaver when you don't even get close to the correct word for autocorrect to fix it
@@zaramilton1480 OMG!!!!! I can tell you how many times I use this and how much it has saved my ass. HAHA
When I first got Siri and found out about it you could probably see my excitement haha.
@JayJumbledVids
The test is the same as the one I took 20+ years ago. Thou I didnt have to do the colour thing, but saying the fake words still fills me with dread.
Absolutely fantastic! I was born in 1944 and at that time, no one had any idea about Dyslexia, so I ended up with glasses at the age of 13. I loved watching this little boys face. At 18 I felt I had to find out what was going on before I hit college. So I forced myself to read one book each week, off the New York Times best seller list. I hated school and book reports were hours and weeks of torture. I am now a very fast reader and I can read upside down and backward. To me, letters are pictures. I still have a problem with numbers and will almost always reverse the last two numbers in a group. My big surprise was learning in my late teens, that my problem was not visual, but neurological. People see a Dyslexic as lazy and dumb. I hated math and loved algebra. Algebra was a puzzle and gave me time to think. Fortunately, one of my teachers suggested my Parents have me tested. The IQ test proved that I was more than capable of making this all work out. Now at 76 I am living in a foreign country and learning a new language. It is a big challenge. But then, so is life. You need a sense of humor. Great Video!!!!!!
Wow
I am 62. When I was in school, it was apparent there was a problem, but no one put a name to it or could get me the proper help. I got through it, though. Now I finally know.
Is no one gonna comment on the bit that went:
"In terms of subjects in school which is your favourite?" "Recess"
Why is this so relatable?
It was adorable and honest answer
It breaks my heart that school sucks the creativity and enthusiasm out of these young kids...
Goodwill hunting... “ the bar scene”
Everyone said that in 5th grade lmao
Think I have dyslexia but have never been diagnosed I used to read like this boy and had a very hard time learning after a lot of work and a neighbor helping me with Phoenix I am now an member of National Honors Society and I am going to graduate in the spring of 2019. Even though it is difficult reading and writing we can accomplish anything we want. It is just another challenge to face!
My brother has a bad case of dyslexia. It’s great to see this video and see how this test went for him.
I just got my evaluation for the second time and they said I am making really good progress and I'm probably going to be taken off of the IEP model really soon
The Loudest Killjoy good for you! :)
What do you feel has helped you make progress?
That's good. Btw I love your username and profile pic
Dear God... When Zeke was taking that test I had flashbacks to taking a similar type of test 20+ years ago. I hated it... Haha
I had similar issues to Zeke when I was young but I think he'll be just fine. Once he finds a subject that interests him, he'll do great. There is a good number of dyslexics who do great at math, science, and art.
Word of Advice
Dont give up Zeke (and to all other dyslexic people and parents of ones who have it); it may seem hard at times but dont let it get to you or put you down. There are many of us just like you in the world and there is no shame in having dyslexia. And I wish you luck, but I dont think youll be needing it. ^_^
Recess is my favorite subject too
I remember taking these test and I didn't even know I was taking tests for dyslexia. I kind of want to take this test again to see how far I have come
As someone who struggles with Dyslexia, I feel for the boy. Back when I was growing up no one knew really anything about it and so people who have it were labeled as slow. The struggle was bad and real then. At least now kids have better resources.
I enjoyed everything about this video through my tear filled eyes. As someone who works in the education field with children, I appreciate the work he does and the demeanor he has while doing it. I wish I had someone like him in my corner when I was raising my dyslexic child. I am a dyslexic as well and wish I had a coach like him to help give me the confidence I needed when I was younger. I believe this kind of work has the power to change the world.
Thank you!
I had to do this at school. For some reason I wanted to cry
Milly M When I was at school I always remember some sort of shrink asking me “ So if you woke up one morning and you wasn’t dyslexic anymore, what would be the first thing you would do”? And I said “ how would I know?, I don’t take a spelling test as soon as I wake to see if I am or not” what did she think? That Dyslexic people sense there Dyslexia constantly and would notice if it went straight alway, like if I had no legs and they grew back over night! What was the point of that question!
Milly M I felt sorry for him when they ask him to spell words. That is and was my hardest thing to do.
Same.
Same I had to do it twice I was so bored
I wasn't told that I have dyslexia until I was in my late 30's. I think this is a good video. I would like for more experts to concentrate on the difficulty people with dyslexia have with Math and Geography. That child is adorable. Reminds me of how frustrating school was for me.
I was a child in the sixties my teacher told me I was just lazy I took no testing no nothing just told I was lazy finally I just taught myself how to read
This kid has more patience, perseverance, and etiquette then most adults!
Smart kid... Recess is the best subject in school, also extremely important!
I have dyslexia and I remember these tests. I like them because they took me out of boring class, and away from my bullies
This took me back to primary school and Like this kid I used to get confused with lowercase b and d and which way the number 5 was written so I got tested for dyslexia and It turned out I didn’t have it and eventually I outgrew most of my learning problems.
Kimberley H Same here with the b and d confusion
how old were you though? This boy is 7 or 8
ConcreteAngelx3 around the same age as the kid.
oh hmm pretty sure you should outgrow that by 6 or there is a problem.. but if you just naturally grew out of it that is good
I had the same problem with b's and d's and how: 9's and P's, 5's and S's, and C's were written and which were which. I also couldn't read numbers off a board, like if 5679 was written I couldn't read it as Five thousand six hundred and seventy-nine. I've grown out of it kinda, occasionally Ill still get confused with which way some letters are written and with numbers now its just longer numbers, I was never tested for Dyslexia.
I was terrible in primary school. I'm 37 now, with a PhD in Engineering and I still can't read out loud well. My self esteem improved a lot when they stopped asking me to read in front of the whole class. Now, I love to read to my kids. Even thought my 6 year old daughter reads better than me and picks up every mistake.
Recess is his favourite subject 😂 Reminds me of Michael Scott.
frankygrime when I got evaluated the person asked me what is my favorite subject and I said nothing
I laughed at that part 😂 what a cutie
frankygrime am I supposed to know who that is
I was homeschooled so I never got an official test but I know I am dyslexic now and the little boy reminded me of me as I child.
Thank you so much for showing this evaluation. It is highly informative and gives a good understanding of the problems with dyslexia.
All of these things I have struggled with for my entire life, and never once did I have a teacher step in and suggest that I be evaluated for dyslexia. It wasn't until I was in college that a professor suggest that I be evaluated for it, but by that point I was off on my own, with no way to pay for an evaluation. I always just thought I was stupid, now I realize I'm not stupid at all, my brain just processes information differently. I just wish I would have had the tools, and resources to help me do my best when I was in school.
whats your favourite subject?
8 year old me: *recess*
That kid was me when I was little. I'm able to cope a lot better now thanks to some awesome teachers when I was in 5th grade. Wish I had a teacher to help throughout the rest of school though.
I'm am freaking dyslexic and I am happy for who I am
The child is quite lovable🧡☹️ I liked how the doctor did not feel disturbed of him moving around.
Wait he expects this kid to know which way the sun sets? I don’t even know that
Ava Flood sun sets west
Anon Anon THANK YOU
I was thinking he was looking for the answer "down" ... which a child would know.. I agree most wouldn't know East or West.
ConcreteAngelx3 That would make sense
It’s not hard south is down and the sun sets down
Now I remember being tested! Mom just told me I was gonna meet a friend of hers. I was so confused. I'm 19 now and I am so happy I was able to get the help and education I needed!
To anyone who is dyslexic and is struggling, remember you are not stupid! I was called stupid and dumb. After a while I believed them even though I was alwas in honors and I graduated with high honors! Now I am in college taking courses to become an ESL teacher! You can do it!
Please excuse any errors, I'm dyslexic.
I cried so much i couldn’t read a proper sentence at the test
I often look at kids and think of how will they look like as adults and upon looking at this very cute kid I realised that he could very well look like Dr. Cruger!☺️ Same face, same sweetness about them! This is a wonderful clip!
My childhood best friend has Dyslexia.
It must be hard especially during English tests and class reading
Every time he got it right I was so happy
I’m not even focusing on the test, I’m focusing on how messy this mans hand writing is.
omg yesss
I know lol 😝
That's ADHD. Not noticing the main thing but noticing something that someone else doesn't. It's not unusual to have both. I do.
Jameseena Coene ive been wondering if i have adhd for a long time but i don’t want to self diagnose but my mom would never take me to the doctor for something like that. Even if i truly do have adhd it’s not quite to the point where it’s affecting my life so there would be no need for treatment :)
@@disturbedcookies8141 more information is on UA-cam. Put in find UDERSTOOD ADHD. it should come up with a man with a white beard. I thought this was very accurate and easy to understand. Good luck Avery.
OMG I cried watching this. This is so sad. May God help these kids.
What subject do you like best?
Recess
Same
Maddy Grabham mine is recess cuz I can go play and train my dog for 3 hours (I'm home schooled in also training a service dog by myself *I'm 12 * home school is fun )
I remember my whole life wondering why was I so dumb but now I realized that we work in a different way and we always have a amazing Talent
I'm 24 and remember doing this testing when I was younger and am dyslexic and watching I'm still getting them wrong haha
Great video. I am that kid except I am 30 years older. I hope he got all the help he need.
This is so interesting to watch because from a young age I've been obsessed with books.. It's cool to learn about how other people view it. To me books and sentences are scenes that you become part of- That doesn't happen easily for everyone I suppose!
MarbleGray I love books, I always did. But I have dislexia. I have problems with spelling and reading out loud. If I am reading silently for myself I will guess the word (I get the word from the context) But when I have to read out loud I can't do that so I slow down and I make mistakes. So loving books is possible evan if you are dislexic.
Ohhh huh! See that's even more interesting.. Well I'm super super glad you love to read because books are awesome! Thank you for letting me know! (:
Again, I am yet another book loving dyslexic. People, including parents and teachers, found it interesting as I showed few obvious signs. My parents are teachers and my dad has worked with children with learning difficulties like dyslexia for numerous years so I'm a bit of an odd one.
Huh that's really interesting.. How did you find out you had it if you didn't have any of the signs?
When I was 6 it took me one minute to be able to decode a sentence. At first I didn't like books but my mother managed to find one I actually enjoyed. We sat with my sister (who also has dyslexia) and we read it aloud for hours on end. It was sort of a game for us. We didn't know we had dyslexia at the time. Turns out that practicing reading and playing an instrument really helps dyslexic individuals. Now you wouldn't even know I have dyslexia unless you took a look at my latest class test ...
I understand this kid so much! I did theses tests as a kid! It’s funny watching as a dyslexia! People don’t understand us! If you can find that one good thing we do we will be the best at it!!!
"what color is this one? purble" 7:49
Yan Amorim he did that because some people might have called it a different color so he wanted to know what the kid would call it
Purble is a nice colour but i like reb more.
Why are you people even being rude?
I had dyslexia kindergarten to 1st grade. I got special help from, teachers. Now I’m in 7th grade and I’m getting all A’s.
My favorite subject in school was getting the f out of there.
My "evaluation" went on for over 8 hours and focused on the things that I struggled at the most in my young life. It's still fun to read the report to this day... how would you like to read your "deficiencies" summarized as clinically as possible. It makes it clear that there is something different between you and "them"..... good thing we're "all inclusive" ay....
His writing is making is anxious and nervous and I’m not being tested
I never could have sat through this at his age. I was fidgety as hell and would have been bored pretty quickly. What a nice boy he is.
What if the tester was female? How do you think you would had reacted?
Really amazing! How wonderful the instructor is!
Excellent insider perspective
I had to do this at 15,I felt like a failure and baby because of how much I failed it. This brings back ptsd!
I found this video interesting to watch.
I’ve had to do these tests three times.
First time I figured out I was dyslexic
Second time I figured out I was dyscalculia
Third time they lost my test results so I had to do it all again to get my IEP back.
Super informative video btw, I understand a lot more now
I did this I got very bad dexki I cryed 😭 so much and I was depression for a while thx friend you help a lot
I have dyslexia
me too haha
Maddy Dennis me to lul and i have adhd soyea
Maddy Dennis same
Maddy Dennis same
Same
Man... I so needed you when I was a kid. I will never forget my struggles reading a USA Today newspaper..and unable to finish it without crying and shaking. Ugh so horrible.
The worst week for a dyslexic kid ever 3/4/5 year
51 years old and I can’t spell to save my life.
Wish I had this sort of support over 40 years ago.
All I can say its a good job we have better Technology to help.
I have spent a life time hiding this disability
Dyslexia describes me well
A wonderful teacher and student, I am so impressed by the teacher and the student as a good example of positive relationship between a teacher and student. The student is very intelligent, wonderful, and must have very kind parents who also teach him well. The video is very good to help next-gen teacher understand how to build a teaching relationship with a student.
I think he also has ADD
Jules 33 I have ADD not easy 😂 can never sit still
Arm chair physiatrist here. Maybe you could give him a prescription.
It’s common with dyslexics, I’m dyslexic and don’t suffer with ADD but I know many dyslexics that do suffer.
I don’t think so because a commen trait of dyslexia is lack of concentration because when I did my dyslexia test the lady asked me if I lacked concentration and I said oh yeah that’s what I get in trouble in school the most
Jules 33 I think he might have ADHD
This is interesting, the guy is really good with the boy. My son is dyslexia and it is tough to keep him still, he wouldn't like people writing things down about him during tests. It's great if the child can learn strategies to cope better.
😱 that was so me when i was in elementary school 😥
Alejandra Jeronimo that is so me everyday 😂 I have NF1
same
I can understand the whole video, I have adhd and breaking the content helps a lot tbh.
watching this because the boy who sits next to me in literature had dyslexia
Thanks for this video. I tested in third grade which was 16 years ago and my little sister is testing next month. She was scared about it but this calmed her down.
I just realised I had on of these before, I just didn't understand why I was doing it
