Clear, practical recommendations to guide school supports, tutoring, and home strategies
When a child is putting in effort but continues to struggle with reading, it can be both confusing and discouraging. Reading disorders are not caused by lack of intelligence or motivation. In fact, many children with reading disorders are bright, curious, and hardworking. Families may seek an evaluation if they notice slow or labored reading, difficulty sounding out words, poor reading comprehension, frequent guessing at words, or frustration during homework. Early identification of a reading disorder can prevent ongoing academic stress and help children receive the targeted interventions they need to succeed.
We take a strengths-based, comprehensive approach to reading disorder testing. Each evaluation is designed to understand your child’s full learning profile, including both areas of difficulty and the strengths that support resilience and growth. The assessment process typically includes standardized academic testing focused on reading skills, cognitive testing to understand information processing, and input from parents and teachers. We also evaluate related areas such as attention, language skills, and memory to ensure we capture the full picture of your child’s learning experience.
Once testing is complete, we provide a feedback session and a detailed written report explaining the findings in clear, accessible language. The report will clarify whether your child meets criteria for a reading disorder and describe how their learning profile impacts academic performance. You’ll receive actionable recommendations tailored to your child’s needs, which may include structured literacy interventions, classroom accommodations (such as an IEP or 504 plan), and practical strategies for supporting reading at home. Our goal is to help your child feel understood, supported, and capable of progress.
We provide reading disorder assessments for children (ages 6 and up) and teens. Whether your child is just learning to read or struggling with more advanced comprehension demands, our evaluations are tailored to their developmental stage and educational needs.
If your child continues to struggle with reading despite effort and support, we can help. At Strengths and Solutions, we offer compassionate, thorough evaluations that guide families toward clarity, effective intervention, and renewed confidence.
