Complex Language Evaluation

Children Ages 5 to 13: If you have concerns about reading and writing and wonder if there could be an underlying speech and/or language issue causing the struggles.

Children Ages 14 to 16: This evaluation is also appropriate for older individuals who struggle significantly with reading and writing. Otherwise, they need the full Language-Based Dyslexia Evaluation, as do all clients above 16 through adulthood.
Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Concerns: You want to know if a child has dyslexia and/or dysgraphia.
Speech and Language Development Concerns: You may also have concerns about speech or expressive or receptive language skill development.

SIGNS TO LOOK FOR?

Reading Fluency Struggles: Choppy, non-smooth readers who may have been flagged at school.
Difficulties in Spelling and Written Expression: May have messy handwriting and weak written expression compared to oral expression.
Verbal Expression Issues: Difficulties getting verbal thoughts out at times.
Following Directions: Needs multiple repeats for task carry-through.
Speech Issues Impacting Reading and Spelling: Example: says /wun/ for run and spells it as wun/run.
Parental Intuition: Your gut instinct tells you that something is causing academic struggles, even if the child is at grade level, but you cannot quite figure it out.

Testing Format: Can be done virtually or on-site.
Report Timeline: Three weeks from the final date of testing.
