Dyslexia Assessment
Our aim is to support and encourage parents and children through a deeper awareness of dyslexia and its profile, including areas of strength and weakness. This empowers families, and promotes stronger relationships and advocacy both at home and at school.
How do I know if my child should be evaluated for dyslexia?
Answering the following questions may help you learn more.
-
Does your child have difficulty sounding out words phonetically, particularly new words?
-
When comparing your child to others of similar age or grade, do you feel your child's reading ability is at the same level with their peers?
-
Does your child mix up similar words such as top/pot?
-
Does your child skip or substitute words when reading aloud, or read a word correctly once on a page and miss the same word later on the page?
-
Does your child add or omit letters when reading or writing?
-
Does your child reverse letters when writing after most children of similar age have stopped doing so?
-
Does your child incorrectly copy notes from the board by missing information, misspelling, or reversing information?
-
Does your child confuse similar sounding words? (humanity for humidity)
-
Does your child find it difficult to retrieve specific words, or mispronounce some words? (aluminum becomes amulium)
-
Does your child indicate they do not like to read, or that reading is difficult?
If you answered YES to 4 or more of these questions, your child may benefit from a dyslexia evaluation.
*The number of YES responses is not an indication of severity.
