 I would like to know at what age children are assessed for certain learning difficulties in your countries.

							| one of the usual signs for a dyslexic kid is the inversion on letters like d for  b   the problem is that this is a common mistake for kids until they are 8-9 yrs. so here we keep an eye to kids as soon a they are learning to read but the  actual assessment is when they reach 9-10  unless    we suspect of another condition |  29 Mar 2011

							| Thanks a lot for your interest.  I think that the earlier they are screened and assessed the better.  It seems that the number of students with dyslexia is increasing and that is due of delayed assessment.  Thanks a lot for your interest.
