Dyslexia Testing
Neuroaffirming dyslexia testing to help you get the support and accurate diagnosis you need.
Have You Always Wondered Why You Struggle To Read, Write, Or Express Yourself?
Do you find that taking tests or finishing exams and assignments takes you longer than it should?
Are spelling errors a common occurrence for you?
Do you procrastinate and avoid reading or writing because you’re frustrated or even embarrassed that you find these tasks so difficult?
Maybe you feel ashamed because your struggles with reading and writing make it challenging to keep up academically with your friends. Or perhaps you feel like you have to hide your challenges from others or constantly explain yourself. Living with a condition that’s gone undiagnosed for years can feel lonely, complicated, and frustrating. Deep down, you desire to know how your brain works and what you can do to succeed.
What The Signs And Traits Of Dyslexia Look Like
At Neuron & Rose Psychological Services, we recognize the impact of dyslexia on your life. Our assessments and evaluations are available to provide the support and guidance you need to address your challenges. You may be experiencing any combination of the following:
Difficulties with accurate word recognition and phonological awareness.
Reading for you may be slow and require a lot of effort when compared to everyone else.
You might struggle with your writing skills that result in frequent spelling or grammatical mistakes and disorganized work.
You might feel frustrated and fatigued because no matter how hard you try, you don’t believe you are intelligent.
It might be tough trying to get by in school, and you may feel like you’re being left behind.
You may suffer from a lack of self-confidence, embarrassment, miscommunication, avoidance of certain tasks, isolation, and even anxiety.
You are Not Alone
One in every five people has dyslexia, meaning more than 40 million adults in the US alone, with only two million receiving an accurate diagnosis. It is the most common learning disability, representing approximately 90 percent of people who have learning disabilities. (1)
At Neuron & Rose we want to celebrate the strengths of dyslexic folx, not reinforce stigma.
In today’s ‘forward-thinking’ society, there’s a pervasive stereotype surrounding learning differences. If you suspect you have dyslexia, you’ve probably been subjected to harmful judgement, unfairly labeled as slow, lazy, or not smart enough. We know that in reality, people with dyslexia often possess unique talents like incredible visual-spatial abilities, creativity, entrepreneurial tendencies and exceptional problem-solving skills.
Dyslexia testing can provide you with an accurate diagnosis, helping you gain a deep understanding of your unique challenges and the support, resources, and accommodations required for you to thrive in your daily life. It's a crucial step towards discovering how to accommodate your learning style and working with your brain's many strengths.
Dyslexia Testing Can Help Enhance Your Learning Abilities
Our Dyslexia Testing Process
Clinical Interview: The clinical interview is the initial step in dyslexia testing. In your first session, a qualified professional talks with you to gain insight into your experiences, challenges, and any concerns related to reading, writing, and spelling. This helps us establish trust and understanding of your perspective regarding your challenges. We also explore your personal history as this is crucial to understanding your family history of learning differences and any environmental factors that may have influenced your reading and writing abilities.
Cognitive Assessment: This is designed to evaluate various cognitive functions that may be related to dyslexia. Cognitive tests examine areas such as memory, processing speed, attention, and executive functions. It also helps to identify your mental strengths and weaknesses, which can inform intervention strategies.
Achievement Tests: Achievement testing is used to assess your academic abilities and may identify discrepancies between cognitive abilities and academic achievement, which can be a telltale sign of dyslexia.
With Neuron & Rose, it's not just about pointing out the challenges, it’s about finding solutions and strategies tailored just for you. Our neuroaffirming approach means we celebrate and appreciate the unique way your mind works. We get that having dyslexia comes with its own set of challenges, but we're here to help you understand yourself better and embrace your many strengths. Our goal is for you to leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and your incredible mind.
