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 a student’s academic progress.

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


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

Let us help you become the expert in your child’s learning

Within 10 to 14 working days, families meet with a Diagnostic Learning Services Director to review findings. During this meeting, we explain the results in clear, practical terms and walk through recommendations that can be shared with schools and support professionals.

Your report becomes a powerful tool that helps families advocate confidently and helps schools implement appropriate supports.

What Families Receive:

  • A clear explanation of evaluation results

  • Recommendations for school and home support

  • Documentation that can support advocacy

  • Guidance on possible interventions and resources

What is Dyslexia?

Icon for dyslexia

/Dis-lek-see-uh/

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects how the brain processes language— making it difficult to connect sounds and letters to form words. Adults and college students with dyslexia may read more slowly, struggle with unfamiliar words, and experience spelling or writing challenges that create stress in academic and professional environments.

Note: Dyslexia is not about reversing letters or reading backward. It primarily involves differences in phonological processing that affect reading accuracy and fluency.
