Dyslexia is an unexpected difficulty in reading in an individual who has the intelligence to be a much better reader. While people with dyslexia are slow readers, they often, paradoxically, are very fast and creative thinkers with strong reasoning abilities.  Dyslexia affects approximately 20% of the population and represents approximately 80% of those with learning disorders.  Individuals with Dyslexia may struggle to read fluently, spell words correctly and learn a second language, among other challenges. These difficulties have no connection to their overall cognitive ability.

• Assessment of reading comprehension
• Assessment of phonological processing (blending and pulling apart individual words into their basic sounds)
• Assessment of spelling
• Assessment of math, including word problems and calculations
• Written Report
