Disleksie Afrikaans Vol Pakket – Dyslexia Assessment Package

This all-in-one assessment kit allows practitioners to deliver accurate, research-informed diagnoses by identifying three main dyslexia subtypes, determining the severity level of each, and providing an overall diagnosis with a final classification of severity. As a result, this insight is essential for developing effective, individualized intervention plans.

This kit is ideal for educational psychologists, therapists, learning support professionals, and specialists working with learners experiencing reading and writing difficulties. It is fully adapted for Afrikaans-speaking learners, therefore ensuring a fair, culturally sensitive, and linguistically appropriate assessment process.

Purpose and Application of the Kit

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental condition that specifically impacts reading, spelling, and phonological processing. Early and accurate identification is crucial for successful support and intervention. Therefore, the Full Afrikaans Dyslexia Assessment Kit follows a structured, research-based approach to:

• Identify the presence of dyslexia,

• Determine the subtype (phonological, surface, or mixed),

• Classify the severity level of each subtype,

• And finally, provide a comprehensive diagnostic outcome.

Consequently, by understanding how dyslexia presents in each learner, practitioners can offer more targeted and effective educational interventions.

Three Components of the Assessment

The assessment process is made up of three core phases. Together, these components provide a complete diagnostic picture:

Parent Questionnaire (Ouervraelys)

The process begins with a comprehensive questionnaire for parents or caregivers, collecting important background information about the child’s development, educational history, and language exposure. Additionally, this context is vital for interpreting assessment results accurately.

Dyslexia Screening Test (DST) (Disleksie Siftingstoets)

The DST evaluates key skills such as phonological awareness, visual processing, working memory, and auditory discrimination—early indicators of dyslexia. Consequently, this screening phase helps determine whether further diagnostic testing is warranted.

Dyslexia Determination Test (DDT) (Disleksie Beslissingstoets)

This is the final component of the assessment and is designed to identify the specific dyslexia subtype and its severity. Furthermore, it is a structured, research-backed tool that offers a clear, in-depth picture of the learner’s individual needs.
