Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop and investigate the psychometric properties of a screening protocol for Norwegian students in upper secondary school. The protocol was designed to assess skills that are at stake in dyslexia. It was administered to 232 students. In the absence of a “gold standard,” comparisons were made between students who reported normal literacy skills (n = 184) and literacy problems (n = 48). Significant group differences were found across all areas. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses demonstrated good discriminatory power. The screening protocol met the standards for reliability and validity. It has the potential to be a useful tool for teachers to identify students at risk for dyslexia and who thus need to be referred to a full diagnostic investigation.
Lindesnes kommune velger Dysmate for å oppnå en dysleksivennlig oppvekst.
Dysleksivennlig oppvekst er et samarbeid mellom grunnskolen i Lindesnes kommune og Mandal videregående skole.
Mandal videregående skole er en dysleksivennlig skole og mottaker av omtrent 90 % av grunnskoleelevene fra Lindesnes kommune.
Nå har Lindesnes kommune inngått en kommuneavtale på Dysmate.
