All questions in this survey form should be answered for one particular child.
This survey is designed to see how MIND-Strengths (that is, strengths often seen in individuals with dyslexic traits) show up in persons aged 5-17.
By filling out this survey, you will be helping us develop a scoring system that will allow the strengths of young people to be identified in these areas. Because we have not yet developed a scoring scale, your scores will not be immediately available. However, when enough people have participated, we will be able to release a final survey version and scoring profile.
IMPORTANT: We need surveys to be completed NOT ONLY for young people with obvious DYSLEXIC traits or prior diagnoses, but also for those with either no obvious or only mild dyslexic traits. So even families with no dyslexic members can help, as can non-dyslexic children from families with dyslexic parents or siblings.
Parents should fill this form out for their children, though they may (typically with older children) ask the child's opinions on the answers to the various questions. IMPORTANT: A SEPARATE SURVEY MUST BE FILLED OUT FOR EACH CHILD YOU WISH TO DESCRIBE.
The personal/demographic information at the start of the survey is essential for developing the scoring scale. We will not keep any uniquely identifying information with the surveys, but we will ask for an email where we can contact you later with the results. Neither the surveys nor the personal information will be released to anyone outside of Dyslexic Advantage.
Please contact us at team@dyslexicadvantage.org if you have questions. And thank you for your help!
