Adult Language-Based Dyslexia Evaluation
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Individuals Ages 21 and Up: May seek testing for dyslexia and dysgraphia for a variety of personal, professional, and academic reasons.
Diagnosis Concerns: You want to know if there is a diagnosis of dyslexia, dysgraphia, or any other speech or language-related diagnosis that could impact learning.
COMMON MOTIVATIONS?

Lifelong struggles with reading fluency, spelling, or written expression that were never formally diagnosed.
Frequent frustration or fatigue when reading or writing.
Wondering if there could be an underlying language issue causing the struggles.
. Academic or Career Advancement
Returning to school or pursuing higher education and noticing persistent difficulties with reading, writing, or note-taking.
Needing accommodations (e.g., extra time on exams) for standardized tests like the GRE, LSAT, or professional certifications.
Workplace Challenges
Difficulty with tasks that involve reading complex texts, writing reports/emails, or organizing written information.
Seeking workplace accommodations under the ADA (e.g., text-to-speech software, extended deadlines).
Parenting or Family Awareness
Noticing similar learning difficulties in a child and wondering if there's a genetic component.

SIGNS TO LOOK FOR?
Something Just Feels Off: You’ve always had a gut feeling that something was making learning harder—but haven’t been able to put your finger on it.
Working Harder, Achieving Less: You may be putting in twice the effort as others, only to see the same—or even lower—results.
Reading Isn’t Smooth: Reading aloud feels choppy or disconnected. You may have struggled with fluency in school or been flagged for it before college.
Spelling and Writing Struggles: Spelling is inconsistent, writing is a challenge, and handwriting may appear disorganized or messy.
Writing Doesn’t Match Speaking Ability: You can express yourself well when speaking, but written assignments fall short. Taking notes or organizing written thoughts is difficult.
Trouble Finding Words: You know what you want to say, but sometimes the words just don’t come easily when speaking.
Difficulty Following Complex Directions: You often need instructions repeated and may have trouble following multi-step or detailed verbal directions.
