SUMMARY:

Adults with complaints about reading problems have been seeking help in order to identify their condition. There are several probable causes and one of the possibilities is dyslexia, a neurobiological disorder that impairs people's ability to read and write. As the diagnosis of dyslexia is expensive, time consuming and requires a specialized multidisciplinary team, it is often inaccessible and becomes a barrier imposed on many people with reading difficulties, preventing them from going through this diagnostic process. The screening is an instrument that aims to identify individuals most likely to have a condition. It can be very useful to reduce the number of individuals who are unaware of the disorder and who fail to seek a diagnosis of dyslexia, making the process clearer, less time consuming and more cost-effective. Despite the existence of initiatives for dyslexia screening instruments in children, initiatives aimed at adults are incipient, especially in the Brazilian context. From this gap, the present study launched a proposal for a dyslexia screening instrument for adults. Its general objective is to propose an instrument for screening dyslexia in adults with reading difficulties in Brazilian Portuguese. Its specific objectives are: to review the literature on the instruments available for dyslexia screening in adults; to develop a proposal for a dyslexia screening instrument for adults and; to analyze the evidence of content validity of the proposed instrument based on the evaluation of expert referees in the area. Regarding the methodology, this investigation had an exploratory and descriptive nature, with analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. The procedure was carried out in two stages: the first stage consists of an integrative review of the literature in national and international databases - SCOPUS, Web of Science (main collection), SciELO, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global (PQDT Global), NDLTD, Open Access Theses and Dissertations OATD, Eric, Pubmed and Lilacs. This review aimed to identify national and international scientific productions dealing with instruments for screening dyslexia in adults, as well as to identify the most frequently evaluated variables/skills. The second stage consists of the proposal of an instrument for screening dyslexia in adults followed by the agreement analysis performed by expert judges. As a result, the review established the simultaneous skills and enabled the construction of the screening instrument proposal. As for the second stage, the agreement analysis carried out by the referees pointed out the relevance and adequacy of the content of the instrument presented, requiring only minor adjustments in its form. Thus, it was concluded that the proposed screening instrument is an appropriate tool to perform the screening of dyslexia in adults. However, further studies are needed in order to confirm other types of evidence of validity, as well as their improvement, in order to enable future professional use for screening dyslexia in adults.
