Dyslexia is a specific reading disability, evidenced by differences in understanding and actual performance. Dyslexia is not due to low intelligence, a lack of desire for learning, or behavior problems. Learning Lab can help with early detection and recommend effective strategies and treatments. Assistive Technology, audio books, and one-on-one tutoring with a reading specialist can all help to increase the independence and confidence of a student with dyslexia.
Dyslexia diagnosis includes
- Developmental, academic and family history
- Phonological processing
- Listening comprehension
- Reading tests that evaluate decoding, word identification, comprehension, and oral reading
- Spelling
- Reading and writing fluency
Our diagnosticians review the results of the evaluation and help you understand your child’s condition. They provide a detailed report of all test results as well as recommendations for treatment.
