Long story short, but while I was at school I was tested for Dyslexia three times, twice at primary school and again at secondary school. After the first two lots of testing I was given special exercises to do. The last test (when I was 11/12) was the most thorough as the teacher who did it on me was training to become a special needs something-or-other and was using me as a case study.
The thing is, after all these tests... nobody actually told me if I'm dyslexic or not. All the results were directed at my parents, and after the last lot my mother was given a lot of information but at the time she refused to tell me what it was about and now claims she doesn't remember anything or that she's lost it.
TBH, my mother is a bit loopy and it's a lost cause trying to get anything more out of her. It is entirely possible that if I was dyslexic she could have decided not to tell me, having decided I was coping well enough on my own, and that if I was told I was dyslexic I would stop trying as hard. . Like I said, she's a bit loopy.
Even though I have finished my degree now and have done well, I have been thinking about doing another (to become a primary teacher) and it is really starting to bother me that I don't know what the outcome of those tests were... does anyone know if there's a way I can find out? I though about going back to the school, but the specific teacher that did the last test doesn't work there anymore.
Could I get a test done again? How much would it be? Any ideas anyone?
