Testing for Dyslexia in Dallas

Performed through our Plano office location

Diagnostic Learning Services offers specific evaluations to assess for dyslexia in children and adults.

Dyslexia is a reading disorder that is characterized by struggles with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, poor spelling, and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language. The reading difficulties experienced by an individual with dyslexia are unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities.

Primary Characteristics of Dyslexia

• Difficulty accurately decoding unfamiliar words

• Difficulty with oral reading (slow, inaccurate, or labored)

• Difficulty spelling

• Difficulty reading words in isolation

• Math skills in the average range

• Difficulty with written composition

• Family history of similar problems

• Difficulty learning the names of the letters and their associated sounds.

Once evaluated, we will use the findings of the assessment to make relevant recommendations for both work and home.

Diagnostic Learning Services has been assessing adults and children since 2004.
