There Is Not One Specific Test

Accurate diagnosis requires more than a quick screener or one isolated score. Diagnostic Learning Services uses a comprehensive, professional evaluation process to understand how attention, learning, and processing challenges interact so clients receive answers they can trust and recommendations they can actually use.

Diagnostic Learning looks at the whole picture We consider history, symptoms, observations, rating scales, cognitive and academic data, processing patterns, and objective measures when appropriate so families and adults receive answers and recommendations that are clear, useful, and individualized.

Areas we evaluate

  • ADHD
  • Dyslexia
  • Dyscalculia
  • Dysgraphia

Why that matters

What is Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that affects reading, spelling, and word recognition. While dyslexia often begins in childhood, many adults discover it later after years of struggling with reading speed, written work, or academic performance.

Dyslexia is not caused by poor effort or low intelligence. With the right strategies, supports, and accommodations, adults with dyslexia often experience major improvements in confidence, productivity, and daily functioning.

K-12 Learning Disability and Dyslexia Evaluations

Information for families seeking Learning Disability and Dyslexia Evaluations for children and students.

What is Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that affects how the brain processes written and spoken language. It can make it harder for students to connect sounds and letters, decode unfamiliar words, read fluently, and spell accurately.

Students with dyslexia are often bright and capable, but they may continue to struggle with reading and writing even with strong instruction because the underlying processing needs require a specialized approach.
