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.
How to Get Started
If you’ve noticed your child struggling with reading, spelling, or writing, don’t wait to take action. Early intervention is critical in helping children with dyslexia gain confidence and improve their academic performance. Our comprehensive dyslexia testing will give you the answers you’ve been searching for and provide the pathway to better support your child’s future.

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.
