Why Our Approach Works

Our dyslexia evaluations are part of a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment, not a single-skill screening. We look closely at reading, phonemic awareness, writing, math, attention, memory, processing, and learning history to better understand what may be impacting progress.

By looking at the whole person—not just one score—we provide accurate diagnoses, clear answers, and recommendations you can use to support success in school, work and beyond.


After the Evaluation: Creating a “Road Map” for Success

Let us help you become the expert in your own success—at school, work, and beyond.

Within 10 to 14 working days, you’ll meet with a Diagnostic Learning Services Director to review the results. During this meeting, the director explains findings and recommendations in clear, practical terms and walk through recommendations that can be shared with schools, employers, etc.

Your written report becomes a valuable tool you can use to:

• Request college disability accommodations,

• Share documentation with professors or employers,

• Support standardized testing accommodation requests, and

• Build a personalized plan for ongoing success.

Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects written expression and fine motor coordination.

Adults with dysgraphia may struggle with note-taking, writing emails, completing forms, or tasks requiring precise motor control. Dysgraphia is more than messy handwriting; it can impact a your ability to express ideas clearly on paper.
