The DST-J is designed to screen children aged 6.5 to 11.5 years for potential dyslexia. It consists of various tasks that are administered in a structured setting, typically by a teacher, psychologist, or other trained professional. The test provides a profile of strengths and weaknesses that are useful in identifying children who might benefit from further testing or direct intervention strategies. The results can help educators and parents understand where specific difficulties lie and how best to support the child’s learning needs.
