Why Our Approach Works
At Diagnostic Learning Services, we don’t assess a single skill in isolation. Our K–12 psychoeducational evaluations connect the dots between reading, writing, math, attention, memory, and processing to ensure accurate diagnoses and clear next steps.
Our goal is to give families more than results—we provide answers, direction, and practical recommendations that help students succeed in school and beyond.
Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluations for K–12 Students
Our psychoeducational evaluations are designed to uncover the root causes of learning and attention difficulties that may be impacting a student’s progress in school. Rather than focusing on test scores alone, we take an in-depth look at how your child thinks, learns, and processes information to identify whether challenges are related to a specific learning disability—such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia—or attention-related concerns like ADHD.

How We Test for Dyslexia
To determine if a child has dyslexia, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation that includes the following:
Child’s history through parent input, teacher input, and self-report (age permitting)
An assessment of how the child learns and processes information
An assessment of their academic skills, including their phonemic awareness (ability to identify and manipulate sounds)
Ruling out any processing issues, medical conditions, vision problems, or other disabilities that may impact reading skills
What is Dyscalculia?
/Dis-kal-coo-lee-uh/
Dyscalculia is a learning disability that affects number processing, math reasoning, and time management. For adults, it often shows up in daily tasks—calculating tips, managing finances, estimating time, or understanding schedules—and can create stress at work or school.
