尽管有许多评估儿童阅读障碍的标准化措施，但适合评估成人阅读障碍的工具相对较少。鉴于进入英国高等教育机构的学生数量不断增加，有必要开发可靠的工具来评估患有阅读障碍和相关困难的学生的额外需求。这项研究报告了约克成人评估修订版的数据：高等教育中阅读障碍筛查的评估组合。目前的约克成人评估修订版 (YAA-R) 是一套评估体系，包括阅读、拼写、写作和语音技能测试。来自 106 名没有阅读障碍的成年人的标准样本和 20 名患有阅读障碍的成年人的验证样本的数据表明，在包含 YAA-R 的测试中存在显着的组间差异。此外，YAA-R 具有良好的辨别力，可产生 80% 的灵敏度和 97% 的特异性。综上所述，YAA-R 是一款适合评估和识别大学生阅读障碍的测试电池。
Although there are a number of standardised measures to assess dyslexia in children, there are comparatively fewer instruments suitable for the assessment of dyslexia in adults. Given the growing number of students entering UK higher education institutions, there is a need to develop reliable tools for assessing the additional needs of those with dyslexia and related difficulties. This study reports data from a revised version of the York Adult Assessment: An Assessment Battery for Dyslexia Screening in Higher Education. The current York Adult Assessment-Revised (YAA-R) is an assessment battery consisting of tests of reading, spelling, writing and phonological skills. Data from a normative sample of 106 adults without dyslexia and a validation sample of 20 adults with dyslexia illustrate significant group differences on the tests comprising the YAA-R. Additionally, the YAA-R has good discriminatory power yielding 80% sensitivity and 97% specificity. Taken together, the YAA-R is a suitable test battery for the assessment and identification of dyslexia in university students.
