What is Dewey Dyslexia and what services do you provide?
Dewey Dyslexia is a specialized center that offers psycho-educational assessment and consultation services for children and adolescents. Our team of educational psychologists and reading specialists is trained to identify and diagnose dyslexia and assess cognitive processing weaknesses and academic delays associated with reading and writing difficulties.
How can Dewey Dyslexia help determine if my child has dyslexia?
Our comprehensive evaluation process involves a range of assessments, including intellectual testing (IQ test) to gauge learning potential and a battery of information processing tests that measure memory, visual, phonological, orthographic, and attention processing. These evaluations help us identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses that may contribute to reading and writing challenges.
What does the achievement evaluation entail?
Our achievement evaluation includes a broad battery of standardized tests, curriculum-based assessments, and oral language assessments. This comprehensive approach thoroughly explains your child’s reading and writing abilities, decoding skills, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and oral and written expression.
How can Dewey Dyslexia’s assessment help my child’s learning abilities?
Our assessments offer a clear picture of your child’s cognitive strengths and areas of difficulty, allowing us to tailor recommendations and interventions specific to their needs. By identifying dyslexia and related challenges early on, we can provide you with strategies and support to help your child succeed academically.
What can I expect after my child undergoes an assessment at Dewey Dyslexia?
After the assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing your child’s cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses. This report will guide our recommendations for tailored interventions and strategies to support your child’s learning and development.
What if my child is diagnosed with dyslexia? What support can Dewey Dyslexia offer?
