DYSLEXIA TESTING

REQUEST INFORMATION

Dyslexia Testing

At Global Education Testing, we understand how heartbreaking it can be to watch your child struggle with reading, spelling, and writing, especially when the root cause remains a mystery. Too often, children who face these challenges are labeled as “lazy” or “distracted,” when in reality, they may be dealing with undiagnosed dyslexia.

 

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that affects the way the brain processes written and spoken language. It’s not about intelligence—many children with dyslexia are bright and creative thinkers. But without proper diagnosis and support, dyslexia can leave a child feeling frustrated, anxious, and misunderstood in the classroom.

Limitations of School Based Dyslexia Testing
Is a School Screening Enough?

While schools may offer basic screenings, they often lack the depth and expertise required to fully understand your child’s unique learning challenges. More importantly, should you place your trust in a school system that may already have preconceived notions about your child’s abilities or behavior? Schools, whether consciously or not, might lean toward a milder diagnosis, which could limit your child’s access to the support they truly need.

Comprehensive Assessments

At Global Education Testing, we go beyond surface-level screenings to provide a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis. Our dyslexia testing offers the clarity and insight that parents are searching for, helping you understand the full scope of your child’s learning challenges. This isn’t just about labeling a problem—it’s about ensuring that your child receives the full range of support, both in the classroom and during external examinations.

Global Education Testing Qualified Educational Psychologists
Extra Time in Exams

Only a qualified educational psychologist from a health system comparable to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland, or New Zealand can provide the depth, scope, and detail needed for a diagnosis that external examination boards take seriously. Our assessments are critical in unlocking maximum accommodations, such as the maximum extended time for exams, which can make a world of difference to your child’s academic success.

The Difference a Diagnosis Makes

GLOBAL EDUCATION TESTING

An accurate diagnosis of dyslexia isn’t just about understanding your child’s difficulties—it’s the first step toward creating a personalized education plan that can transform their learning experience. Once we’ve identified your child’s specific challenges, we help you and their school develop an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) that targets their needs and builds on their strengths.

 

At Global Education Testing, we also provide detailed statutory reports that schools can use to implement necessary accommodations. Whether it’s extra time on exams, specialized teaching strategies, or access to assistive technology, our goal is to ensure your child gets the support they need to succeed.

What Does a Dyslexia Assessment Involve?

 

Dyslexia testing includes a variety of professional tools designed to pinpoint the exact nature of your child’s reading difficulties. Among the tests we use are:

 

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V)

 

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) is one of the most trusted and widely used tools for assessing cognitive abilities in children. At Global Education Testing, we use the WISC-V as a key part of our dyslexia testing process to help identify the strengths and weaknesses in your child’s intellectual functioning. This assessment goes beyond simply measuring intelligence; it provides valuable insights into how your child processes information, particularly in areas related to language and problem-solving, which are often affected by dyslexia.

 

By pinpointing specific areas of difficulty, the WISC-V enables us to build a clear picture of your child’s learning profile, helping to guide the right educational strategies and support systems. With this knowledge, we can help you understand your child’s needs and unlock their full potential.

 

Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP-2)

 

The Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP-2) is a tool used in identifying dyslexia and other reading-related difficulties. At Global Education Testing, we use the CTOPP-2 as part of our comprehensive dyslexia assessment to evaluate your child’s ability to recognize, remember, and manipulate the sounds in words.

 

This test specifically measures phonological awareness, memory, and rapid naming, which are often areas of difficulty for children with dyslexia. By understanding how your child processes the sounds in language, we can provide an accurate diagnosis and develop personalized strategies that help them overcome reading challenges and succeed academically. The CTOPP-2 gives you the detailed insights you need to support your child’s reading development in the most effective way possible.

 

Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR)

 

The Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to identify and understand the specific cognitive and linguistic processes involved in reading. Unlike traditional reading tests, which simply measure performance, the FAR delves deeper into the underlying causes of reading difficulties. It helps diagnose conditions like dyslexia by breaking down reading into three main subtypes: phonological, fluency, and comprehension difficulties. By pinpointing where the breakdown in reading occurs, the FAR enables educational psychologists and educators to develop targeted interventions that directly address a child’s specific reading challenges. This tailored approach is critical for children who struggle with reading, ensuring they receive the personalized support they need to succeed.

Dyslexia Test Results

 

After completing a full dyslexia test with our Educational Psychologists, parents receive a comprehensive outcome report that provides a detailed analysis of their child’s strengths and challenges.

 

This report includes information about key areas such as phonological processing, reading fluency, word recognition, spelling and cognitive functioning. The aim is to provide a clear diagnosis and specific recommendations for intervention.

 

The report might also assess executive functioning or other learning difficulties that co-occur with dyslexia, such as ADHD or auditory processing disorders.

 

Following the diagnosis, parents are given an Individual Learning Plan (ILP), which is a tailored educational plan designed to meet the unique needs of the child. The ILP outlines specific accommodations, such as extra time on exams, one-on-one tutoring, or specialized reading interventions.

 

Unlike basic support provided in schools, the ILP is a detailed, actionable document crafted in collaboration with educational psychologists, teachers, and parents. It ensures that the child receives ongoing, personalized support in school, helping them reach their academic goals and reduce the frustrations associated with undiagnosed learning difficulties​.

 

The ILP is reviewed regularly and updated as the child progresses, ensuring that the interventions remain effective as their needs evolve. This level of detail and personalized support is crucial for ensuring that children with dyslexia and other learning challenges can thrive both academically and emotionally.
