Dyslexia Evaluation
for Children and Teens
Autism Evaluation
for Children
and Teens
When Parents
Start Asking Questions
Many parents reach out when reading doesn’t seem to improve the way they expected.
You may be noticing:
- Difficulty sounding out words or decoding
- Slow or effortful reading
- Trouble with spelling or writing words correctly
- Avoiding reading or becoming frustrated with schoolwork
- Falling behind in reading despite support
Sometimes these challenges show up early. Other times, they become more noticeable as reading demands increase in school.
An evaluation helps determine whether dyslexia or another learning difference may be contributing.
