Dyslexia Screening

​Here's the basics...​

Parent and child meet 1:1 with a dyslexia specialist and discuss specific concerns and observations. Following the meeting, a full report will be provided to parents. The report discusses the results of the evaluation and the implications of your child's strengths and weaknesses related to literacy acquisition and application.

​

​

What you gain...

• A deep understanding of your child's literacy/reading weaknesses and needs.

• Personalized suggested accommodations and modifications for accessing school work.

• A starting point for getting the RIGHT help through private tutoring and in school.

• The right information for difficult school conversations.

Does a dyslexia screening provide an official diagnosis for dyslexia?

​

A dyslexia screening is an academic screening, not a medical diagnosis. This type of screening is ideal for struggling readers who have not achieved reading and writing fluency with traditional methods or through other models of intervention, have not made progress with getting help in school, or feel that the help from school is falling short. 

 

An academic evaluation is not specific to Dyslexia, but can provide valuable information about your child's learning aptitude.  This can be provided by our Psych.D. Intern from George Fox!   This information will inform the direction you need to take in order to help your child get supports from school. The Psych.D. Intern can make an official medical diagnosis under the supervision of their Supervisory Psych.

Here are the details of the screening...

​

The screening process takes approximately 90 minutes.  We use a few different evaluation tools that look at all areas of literacy, including auditory processing, oral reading, comprehension, and applied spelling. From this information we gain an understanding of why your child struggles with reading skills, and what areas are the most critical for remediation.  

​

Once the evaluation is complete, a report will be written and emailed to you. Parents are invited to come and discuss the results and the best next steps for getting appropriate help.
