📘 Leonard Evaluation's Dyslexia & Learning Disability Assessments

Brief Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessments for Reading, Writing, Math, and Processing Challenges

Are you or your child struggling with reading, spelling, written expression, or math despite strong effort and instruction? Do tasks take significantly longer than they should? Are there signs of frustration, low self-esteem, or academic anxiety—even when intelligence is not in question? These could be signs of a Specific Learning Disability (SLD), such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, or other processing-based learning differences. A thorough evaluation is the first step toward understanding these challenges and getting the right support to succeed.

🔍 What’s Included in a Learning Disability Evaluation

We offer comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, college students, and adults. Our assessments go far beyond simple achievement tests and are designed to uncover how a person learns, where breakdowns occur, and what can be done to support progress. Each evaluation may include:

Developmental, educational, and family history interviews
Cognitive and intellectual testing (e.g., memory, reasoning, processing speed)
Academic testing in reading, writing, and math
Phonological processing and rapid naming assessments
Executive functioning, attention, and working memory analysis
Language processing and visual-motor integration screening
Behavior and emotional functioning checklists (if needed)

We assess for a range of learning profiles, including:

Dyslexia – difficulties with decoding, phonological awareness, spelling, reading fluency, and comprehension
Dysgraphia – challenges with handwriting, spelling, and written expression
Dyscalculia – trouble with basic math skills, number sense, and calculation
Processing Disorders – weaknesses in auditory, visual, or working memory that impact learning

🧠 Benefits of Dyslexia & Learning Disability Testing?

Too often, students with learning disabilities are misunderstood, mislabeled as lazy or unmotivated, or left to struggle in silence. A diagnosis provides clarity, validation, and a path forward. Our evaluations help unlock:

Special education eligibility (e.g., IEPs under SLD classification)
504 Plans with accommodations like extended time, note-taking support, or audiobooks
College accommodations for courses and high stakes testing (e.g., SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, NMBE, MPRE, Bar Exam)
Targeted interventions in reading, writing, and math
Increased self-awareness and confidence in learners who finally understand their strengths and challenges

We believe in helping individuals access the tools they need to reach their full potential—academically, emotionally, and socially.
