Dyslexia Screening
For young learners in Kindergarten and early first grade
Learning to read is one of the most complex tasks a young brain undertakes. For some children, the process doesn't click as easily as it does for others. We offer specialized dyslexia screening for early elementary school children who are showing signs of struggle with early literacy—such as difficulty with letter sounds, rhyming, or recognizing common words.
Early identification is the most powerful tool we have to prevent long-term academic frustration. This screening is especially vital if there is a family history of reading or writing difficulties, as dyslexia often has a genetic component.
Our screening process helps you:
-
Assess Risk: Determine if your child’s challenges are typical for their age or indicative of dyslexia.
-
Understand Current Abilities: Pinpoint exactly where the "breakdown" in reading is happening (phonological awareness, decoding, or fluency).
-
Intervene Effectively: Receive clear, evidence-based recommendations for specialized instruction and home support.
-
Build Confidence: By identifying challenges early, we can provide the right support before a child’s self-esteem is impacted by school struggles.
The fee may vary, but we expect it to be about $600
Targeted & Abbreviated Evaluations
We understand that not every situation requires a full, comprehensive battery of tests. Sometimes, a more focused approach is the most effective and efficient way to get the answers you need.
An abbreviated evaluation may be the right fit if:
-
Recent Prior Testing: Your child has had a full evaluation in the last year or so years, but specific questions remain or new concerns have surfaced.
-
Updated Accommodations: You need current data to maintain or update an IEP, 504 Plan, or private school accommodations.
-
Targeted Follow-Up: You are looking to monitor progress in one specific area (such as reading fluency or executive functioning) after a period of intervention.
These evaluations are shorter in duration and offered at a lower cost than our comprehensive packages. Because these sessions are highly customized to your child's specific needs, we ask that you reach out to us directly to discuss your goals. We will be happy to review your situation and determine if a targeted evaluation is the best next step.
