LADS PLUS ( Lucid Adult Dyslexia Screening Plus version)

Swift, objective and accurate identification of dyslexia in the general population aged 15 +

 

LADS Plus provides quick and effective screening for dyslexia in a wide variety of adult settings. LADS  Plus assesses phonological processing, working memory and lexical access - core cognitive skills that are typically weak in dyslexic adults despite educational experience. Together with the LADS nonverbal reasoning module, these tests enable a reliable identification of dyslexia across the range of intelligence and experience. The accuracy of LADS has been proved in extensive scientific trials, fewer than 4% false positive ('false alarms') and 5% false negative ('misses') misclassifications. Most other methods of identification have misclassification rates of anywhere from 20% to 80%.

 

 

 

 

 

Lads Plus was developed to provide improved screening accuracy in wider populations that may include  individuals that have non standard educational backgrounds , low general ability, and/or poor English language skills such as

· Young offenders

· Person who have had disrupted and/or non standard schooling

· Immigrants

· Ethnic minorities
