Description: The Dyslexia Early Screening Test - Second Edition (DEST-2) battery contains screening tests of attainment and ability. These determine whether a young child is experiencing difficulty in areas known to be affected in dyslexia. An 'at risk' score for dyslexia determines whether further in-depth testing should be undertaken. A profile of skills provides valuable information that can be used to guide in-school support. The DEST-2 consists of 12 subtests: Rapid naming Bead threading Phonological discrimination Postural stability Rhyme/Alliteration Forwards digit span Digit naming Letter naming Sound order Shape copying Corsi frog Vocabulary (group/individual).
