Description

The Interactieve Dyslexietest Amsterdam-Antwerpen-MBO is a diagnostic tool designed to detect and assess dyslexia in students and adults in the Netherlands and Belgium. The test was developed to incorporate interactive elements and to evaluate reading, writing, and spelling abilities with the goal of improving the understanding and diagnosis of dyslexia.

Analysis

The Interactieve Dyslexietest includes interactive components that utilize digital tools and applications to record and analyze performance in real time. It evaluates multiple dimensions of literacy, including reading speed, text comprehension, spelling, and grammar. The assessment includes a variety of exercises, such as reading tests, spelling assessments, and grammar evaluations.

Purpose

The main purpose of the Interactieve Dyslexietest is to provide an accurate diagnosis of difficulties related to dyslexia. It aims to support the development of suitable educational strategies and interventions for individuals with dyslexia. Additionally, it enables progress monitoring by tracking individual performance over time and adjusting intervention strategies according to specific needs.

Scoring

Scoring is based on performance across successive assessments and exercises. Higher scores generally indicate stronger abilities in the evaluated areas. Results are further analyzed to identify specific areas of difficulty, such as reading speed or spelling accuracy.
