Comprehensive Assessment

Comprehensive Dyslexia Assessment

This in-depth evaluation goes far beyond a quick screener. It helps you understand why your child is struggling, how dyslexia may be affecting their learning, and what supports or interventions will make the biggest difference.

​

What the Assessment Includes:

• Administration of the full TOD battery, covering all areas of reading development:

  • Phonological processing and sound awareness

  • Word reading accuracy and decoding

  • Reading fluency and rate

  • Spelling and written expression

  • Listening comprehension and vocabulary

  • Rapid naming and working memory

• Parent intake interview and review of educational history to ensure all relevant factors are considered.

• Professional scoring and interpretation by a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT).

• Integration of findings into a clear, easy-to-understand report with actionable next steps.

​​

What You’ll Receive:

• A comprehensive written report explaining your child’s performance in each skill area.

• A diagnostic summary indicating whether your child meets the criteria for dyslexia.

• Personalized recommendations for school accommodations, classroom supports, and evidence-based intervention programs such as Take Flight (Orton-Gillingham based).

• A follow-up consultation to review results and discuss next steps in detail.

​​

Who Should Consider a Comprehensive Assessment:

• Students with ongoing reading, spelling, or fluency difficulties despite classroom support.

• Children previously identified as “struggling readers” who have not received a formal dyslexia diagnosis.

• Parents or educators seeking a complete understanding of a child’s reading profile for planning intervention or school supports.

​​

Time Commitment:

• Testing is typically completed over two sessions (2–3 hours each), depending on age and attention span.

• Results and the full report are provided within two weeks, followed by a one-on-one review meeting.
