What Is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that affects reading, writing, and spelling. It is not a vision problem or a sign of low intelligence—people with dyslexia are often highly capable and creative.
Dyslexia affects approximately 1 in 5 people and is the most common learning disability. Early identification and intervention are critical for long-term success.
Because dyslexia is a language-based disorder, it is critical that a highly trained speech pathologist performs a thorough battery of assessments for a proper diagnosis.

Testing for All Ages
We evaluate both children and adults for dyslexia.
Pediatric Testing
Early identification is key. Our evaluations help children get the support they need sooner—whether that means targeted reading intervention, classroom accommodations, or an IEP. The earlier dyslexia is caught, the better the outcomes.
Adult Testing
It's never too late to get answers. A diagnosis can help adults qualify for accommodations on licensing exams, medical school exams, national boards, and college courses—or simply provide the peace of mind that comes from finally understanding lifelong challenges.
