Evaluation Options
Dyslexia Screen
For parents who know there are issues going on, but are not sure what those issues are; a basic screen looks for weaknesses in core foundational language areas. Many of these core weaknesses are common for people processing information in a dyslexic manner. The dyslexia screen does not capture enough information for a diagnosis, and is NOT required prior to an assessment.
Plan to be at our office for approximately 2 ½ hours for this screen.
In-person preferred and virtual options.
Diagnostic Evaluations
Our diagnostic evaluation is a complete standardized assessment of foundational and core language abilies. This evaluation is designed to find patterns of strengths and weaknesses in a student’s language profile, from which we can determine exactly what weaknesses are impairing learning. The evaluation will identify: dyslexia, expressive/receptive language, dysgraphia, and/or difficulties with processing speed, . A diagnosis, if applicable, will be classified as mild, moderate, severe or profound.
Plan to be at our office for approximately 5-6 hours.
In-person preferred and virtual options.

What does dyslexia remediation look like?
Dyslexic processors need straightforward, explicit, and detailed instruction on the relationship of spoken sounds to the written symbols. An example is the sound /k/; the /k/ sound in English can be represented in a variety of ways when spelling: C, K, CK, CH and even QUE.
