An evaluation through our Dyslexia Center involves three testing appointments. The psychologist evaluates the client's cognitive and academic abilities over two sessions that are approximately 90-minutes in length. Observational checklists are also completed by family members and teachers as appropriate.
The Speech-Language Pathologist completes the third session that is approximately 90- 120 minutes in length. In-depth and standardized assessments provide crucial information about their phonological awareness, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and language/ auditory processing abilities. A one-hour post-evaluation conference is held shortly following the completion of all three testing sessions in order to discuss the results and treatment recommendations.
