Dyslexia Assessments
Dyslexia is also known as a Specific Learning Disorder of Reading. It affects 5-15% of individuals and occurs in both adults and children. Dyslexia is essentially a reading disorder beginning in childhood which makes it difficult for individuals to read fluently and comprehend texts.
A comprehensive learning assessment of children who are struggling to read is necessary in order to identify the best means of assisting and improving their abilities. People with Dyslexia can improve in reading with targeted Early Intervention and additional assistance. Getting help early in a child's life is extremely important.
Our Psychologist can provide complete assessments and detailed reports in order to identify your child's learning strengths and let you know if they are suffering from a learning disorder such as Dyslexia. Identifying their areas of need and any underlying deficits provides guidance in addressing their weaknesses.
The testing is usually conducted over 3 sessions and includes an assessment of intellectual functioning, academic abilities and underlying neuropsychological skills. Dyslexia testing is the first step in identifying how to best help an individual with long-term reading difficulties.

If learning difficulties are identified during the assessment individuals are often eligible for Special Provisions in exams and additional recognition when applying for University.
