What a Dyslexia & Learning Assessment Gives You

A comprehensive assessment gives you a clear understanding of your child’s strengths, challenges and learning profile. You receive an easy‑to‑understand report with practical recommendations for home and school, along with a clear plan for next steps. Everything is evidence‑based, child‑centered and designed to help you feel confident about how to support your child.

 

 

Signs an assessment may help

Parents often reach out when they notice ongoing difficulties that aren’t improving with time or tutoring, such as:
• slow, effortful reading
• difficulty sounding out words
• guessing words or skipping lines
• trouble remembering spelling patterns
• messy or inconsistent writing
• frustration, avoidance or low confidence
• a big gap between verbal ability and written output

If these feel familiar, an assessment can help you understand what’s happening and what will genuinely support your child.
