Whether you are seeking specialized testing for dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia, my goal is to ensure my patients have what they need to be better supported in their day-to-day lives.
The Ins and Outs of Learning Disability Testing
Testing for learning disabilities involves a series of standardized assessments that evaluate how an individual processes, retains, and applies information across areas such as:
- Reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension
- Written expression, spelling, and fine motor skills
- Mathematical reasoning and calculation
- Memory, attention, and processing speed
- Executive functioning and problem-solving
Through these evaluations, I can assess whether difficulties stem from dyslexia (reading-based challenges), dysgraphia (writing and motor-based issues), or dyscalculia (math-related difficulties). I may also explore other factors that contribute to learning struggles.
Why Learning Disability Testing Matters
Many students and adults with undiagnosed learning differences work twice as hard without understanding why certain tasks feel overwhelming. A thorough evaluation not only identifies areas of difficulty but also highlights cognitive strengths that can be used to build confidence and improve performance. After testing, I provide a detailed written report with specific recommendations—such as classroom accommodations, tutoring strategies, or workplace adjustments—to help each person reach their full potential.
