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 and virtual options.
Diagnostic Assessment
Our diagnostic assessment is a complete standardized assessment of foundational, core language ability. This assessment 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 assessment will identify: dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or difficulties with processing speed, expressive/receptive language. 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 and virtual options.
Dyslexia Remediation
Individual Sessions
Individual attention at all times for your student will maximize progress. For students that pace quickly, or need to pace slowly, individual remediation is the best option.
Typical session length: 55 minutes
Virtual Sessions
Virtual sessions provide the same great progress and add convenience and feasibility for many families. We have been providing effective virtual tutoring options since 2016.
Typical session length: 55 minutes
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.
