Dyslexia
According to the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), Dyslexia is defined as "a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction."
Children and teenagers with Dyslexia not only struggle with the development of reading and spelling skills, but also often develop low academic self-confidence, especially as they begin to recognize their learning differences, Diagnostic evaluations not only help the parents and teachers of a child with Dyslexia better characterize that child's academic difficulties, but they also can help the child more clearly and accurately understand his or her own personal strengths and challenges. During and after evaluations, we will work closely with you to identify the best evidence-based reading interventions, both in and out of school. We will also work closely with you and your child's school team to develop an appropriate and effective educational plan to meet your child's specific learning needs.
