Getting a Dyslexia Evaluation and Diagnosis at speechability, llc
According to Yale University, dyslexia affects 1 out of 5 people but with proper instruction and accommodations, it can be remediated. While there are numerous curricula and programs designed to increase literacy, dyslexia is often overlooked when searching for causes of illiteracy. Dyslexia is the most common reading disability--20% of the population is struggling with this hidden disability, and many remain undiagnosed, untreated, and struggling with the impact of their dyslexia. Many children have difficulty learning how to read or improving their reading. Some read reasonably well, but their spelling and writing skills are poor. If any of these issues sound familiar, your child is a prime candidate for a reading evaluation.
SpeechAbility performs reading evaluations for dyslexia, reading comprehension disorders, and other reading difficulties. An evaluation at SpeechAbility will take a look at student history, parent report, and standardized testing to get a full picture of your child's reading ability. Our testing for dyslexia or other reading disorders typically will take between 3-5 hours and can be performed all on one day or divided into 2 testing sessions. A separate 2 hour meeting is then scheduled with parents to review the results of the evaluation and report, discuss treatment options, and discuss specific information about your child's reading disorder.
If you are interested in scheduling a reading evaluation for your child or teenager, or would just like more information about the testing process at SpeechAbiity, feel free to contact us.
