You might be asking yourself, is my child dyslexic? Or perhaps, am I dyslexic?
Finding answers to these questions can be simple by finding dyslexia testing near you, right here in Santa Clarita. At Compassionate Solutions, we have the experts and resources you need.
When considering how to get tested for dyslexia, the first solution you might try is an online test. While those tests are free and easily accessible, they cannot provide a proper dyslexia diagnosis. The results might be accurate, but even then they will not supply you with accommodations.
A professional dyslexia test, done by a licensed educational psychologist will not only give you answers but assistance in overcoming your learning challenges. Our staff here at Compassionate Solutions can give you or your child relief by providing insight into how your mind functions.
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a broad term used to define several types of learning difficulties. The key symptoms of dyslexia are troubles reading, writing, and auditory language development.
These are just broad indications. Each individual facing these challenges can experience them in different ways. But issues with concepts like word retrieval or sight word identification can all be signals to seek out a dyslexia assessment.
These issues can prevent learning in the classroom or cause challenges in the workplace.
Who Can Be Tested?
Everyone can be tested. Reading challenges often crop up in children at 5 or 6 years old. But often, adults can find themselves struggling with symptoms that were never addressed in their youth.
If you are worried that you might be held back with reading challenges, getting tested can give you peace of mind. Even if you are not diagnosed with dyslexia, there might be another reason behind your reading struggles. Dyslexia or not, we can provide answers and support.
Dyslexia in children can hinder learning in school. Often, public schools do not intervene with learning until your child is drastically behind their peers. By recognizing warning signs early and getting a formal diagnosis, we can prevent your child from missing out on their education.
No matter what stage you are at in life, we can provide formal diagnoses and recommendations to set you up for success.
What We Can Do:
By working one-on-one with our licensed educational psychologists, we can create a profile of specific strengths and weaknesses for each client. From there, a foundation of support can be set to help you thrive.
This assessment should not be feared, it is a way to understand you or your child better. The worst possible outcome is insight and understanding.
Dyslexia in adults may call for accommodation in the workplace. We can discover what you need to help you do your best work by identifying what unique barriers need to be removed.
If you are a college student, you can receive case-by-case accommodations. For example, extra time on exams or use of text-to-speech programs. Let us help you find what helps you ace those classes.
Our main focus will be helping you grow and perform better in everyday life. Whether that be in the workplace, the classroom, or in other personal endeavors.
Let us give you the freedom to work and learn in your own style.
