You may already have discovered that many school teachers are unfamiliar with dyslexia. Or — just as likely — they are aware of dyslexia but have not been trained to identify and support students whose brains are wired differently.
That’s why dyslexia screening is vitally important. If you’re not being offered this, or your school is currently refusing to evaluate your child, or you have any other concerns, we’d urge you to consider Read Write Spell Right’s recommended service.
We’d suggest you start by looking at these warning signs →
All of the previous symptoms, plus…
All of the previous history plus…
At Read Write Spell Right, we recommend that all students undergo a full educational evaluation to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This type of evaluation is, however, not a prerequisite for beginning tutoring.
For those showing any of the key warning signs and yet to be screened, we highly recommend NeuroLearning‘s app-based assessment as a way to get objective data — fast. This test uses a high-tech approach to identify challenges in four key brain processes and four key reading skills to determine the student’s overall dyslexia risk.
Read Write Spell Right Principal Kimberly Downey is present while the student goes through the self-guided process, and the results receive expert analysis as part of NeuroLearning’s service.
NeuroLearning’s screening is designed for anyone aged seven and over, including adults. The test takes between 45 and 60 minutes and can be done on a tablet.
Please contact Kimberly Downey to schedule the NeuroLearning assessment for your student. A follow-up meeting, either in person or via Zoom, is also included to review the findings and to discuss next steps.
The NeuroLearning dyslexia screening is app-based and takes between 40 minutes and an hour to complete on a tablet. Your child will have Read Write Spell Right’s support throughout.
NeuroLearning’s experts review every set of screening results, adding recommendations where relevant. The test was developed by Drs Brock and Fernette Eide, co-founders of non-profit Dyslexic Advantage, and Nils Lahr.
Read Write Spell Right Principal Kimberly Downey uses the NeuroLearning screening results to help better understand a student’s unique learning profile and where the student needs most tutoring support.
