Interview with parents and family background

In assessing dyslexia, it is important for the assessor to see the big picture - to fully understand how the difficulties occur and emerges faced with what tasks. Dyslexia is not the same for every dyslectic and will influence dyslectics in different ways. A big picture understanding of how the dyslexia is affecting each individually is key to aiding and implementing the right measures for helping the person overcome the difficulties presented. A good interview with the parents will give a lot of information to this big picture.
