Could there be more to your child's reading struggles? 📚
Sometimes, a child who is struggling to read needs more than extra practice.
Reading is built on a foundation of many skills: speech, language, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and literacy skills. When one or more pieces of that foundation are difficult, it can affect how a child learns to read.
As a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist with Orton-Gillingham training I love helping families better understand why their child may be struggling to read.
I offer private dyslexia and literacy evaluations using the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) by WPS, along with additional measures selected on a case-by-case basis to better understand your child's individual strengths and areas of need.
My goal is to help answer questions like:
📖 Is my child behind for their age in reading?
🧩 Could speech or language skills be affecting their reading development?
🔤 Are they struggling with the underlying skills needed for decoding and spelling?
💡 What are their strengths?
➡️ And most importantly...what should we do next?
An evaluation isn't just about identifying what a child struggles with. It's about understanding the whole picture and creating a clearer path forward.
