Do I need a dyslexia test?

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects skills involved in accurate and fluent reading and spelling.

It is a lifelong condition that impacts how the brain processes information.

People with dyslexia often experience challenges in reading fluently, spelling, and writing speed.

Common signs may include:.

• Struggles learning letter sounds.

• Difficulties remembering sequences such as the alphabet or days of the week.

• Difficulty blending letters to form words.

• Confusing visually similar words when reading.

• Problems with spelling.

• Slower reading and writing speeds.

• Needing to re-read paragraphs for comprehension.

Dyslexia is not related to intelligence, and with proper support, individuals can achieve success.

If you or your child are experiencing signs of dyslexia, contact Chrissy about dyslexia testing to see if it is the right option.

What happens during a dyslexia test?

A comprehensive assessment includes a variety of tests that evaluate different skills, such as.

• Underlying ability.

• Working memory.

• Phonological awareness.

• Phonological processing speed.

• Spelling.

• Writing.

• Reading.

Dyslexia testing takes approximately three hours, and you'll receive a 25–30-page follow-up report within two to three weeks.
