Understand Your Child’s Reading Needs with a Dyslexia Screening
Before therapy begins, we recommend a comprehensive reading screener to evaluate your child’s strengths and weaknesses.
What We Assess
Phonological and Phonemic Awareness
Evaluation of the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language, a key foundation for reading skills.
Verbal Working Memory
Assessment of the capacity to hold and process verbal information, essential for decoding and comprehension.
Oral Reading Fluency
Observation of reading speed, accuracy, and expression during oral reading tasks.
Rapid Naming Skills
Measurement of how quickly familiar items like letters or colors can be named, indicating processing speed.
Isolated Word Decoding & Encoding
Testing the ability to accurately read and spell individual words without contextual clues.
Reading Screening Process Overview
Screenings typically take 1–2 hours and include preparation, scoring, and a parent follow-up call. While this is not a formal dyslexia diagnosis (which requires a specially-trained psychologist), it provides valuable insight into whether therapy or intervention is recommended.
