Abstract:
Hungarian dyslexia testing procedures possess a substantial historical background; however, they have not maintained parity with international advancements in neurocognitive diagnostic methods, partially due to the distinctive characteristics of the Hungarian language. This study investigated the feasibility of aligning Hungarian screening procedures with the DSM-5 and ICD-11 criteria. Such alignment would facilitate comparisons between Hungarian tests and contemporary international frameworks. This comparative analysis could potentially modernise Hungary's diagnostic tools, thereby enhancing both diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, it could simplify assessments for multilingual students, as the language of test administration may become less significant. Subsequent research could compare the test results across various languages for bilingual and multilingual children.
