Your child is smart. So why is reading still so hard?
A focused evaluation gets you real answers and a clear path forward
This might be right for your family if…
Your child struggles with reading, spelling, writing, or math— despite trying hard and getting help
Teachers say your child is “bright” but their grades don’t show it
You’ve wondered about a learning disability like dyslexia but haven’t gotten a clear answer
The school team says it’s best to wait and see how your child improves in their academic skills but your gut feeling is that something is off
You want an independent opinion you can actually trust
Here’s how we get you answers
A focused learning disorder evaluation would include:
How your child’s brain processes and stores information
Reading, spelling, writing, or math skills— compared to what’s typical for their age
Behavioral and attention rating scales, completed by you and the teacher (if needed)
A conversation with you, because you know your child best
What you get at the end:
An easy-to-read written evaluation report with findings, diagnosis (if applicable), and specific recommendations
A feedback session where I walk you through the results in plain English. Questions welcomed and encouraged.
School-ready language you can bring directly to your child’s school team
Most parents tell me the feedback session is the first time they’ve felt like someone actually explained their child to them.
Timeline:
Most families complete testing in 1-2 sessions. The full process from intake call to feedback session is typically 3-5 weeks.
Questions parents ask:
-
School evaluations- whether for IEPs or 504 Plans- are designed to determine whether your child qualifies for services under IDEA. They are provided free of cost.
A private evaluation is designed to answer your specific questions and give you recommendations you can actually use, whether or not your child has a school plan. Private evaluations can determine if your child has an actual learning disorder. They go deeper, move faster, and are written for you.
-
This evaluation can absolutely complement an existing IEP or 504 Plan. Many families come to me because the school has not evaluated, or the evaluation didn’t fully explain why their child struggles. A private evaluation fills those gaps.
-
Typically, payment is separated into two blocks— half due to book the evaluation, and the other half due prior to the release of the report and feedback meeting. Payment plans are available.
I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a Superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursment.
If your child has been struggling with reading longer than you’d like to admit, this call is for you
