Dyslexia Assessment
Why a Dyslexia Assessment Can Benefit Your Child
A dyslexia assessment can be the first step to getting your child the support they require to meet their full literacy potential. At The Soundmill Centre, we provide comprehensive testing using a combination of activities, structured observation, parent report and more to identify key areas where your child could benefit from professional assistance. We will provide comprehensive support and a tailored treatment plan to assist your child in overcoming the struggles associated with their dyslexia.
The Importance of a Dyslexia Test
The severity of dyslexia can vary between people, which is why comprehensive testing is important. The benefits of getting a professional test include:
-
A personalised treatment plan: After an initial assessment with our professionals, we create a tailored treatment plan for each individual to ensure that it meets their specific requirements. Our consultations, assessments, and therapy sessions stem from research and evidence-based techniques and strategies that can help to improve your child’s learning.
-
Accommodations at school: A dyslexia test can give teachers the assistance they need to make certain accommodations at school to benefit your child’s learning. These allowances may include more time to complete a test or eligibility for certain programmes.
-
Improve self-esteem: Helping your child with dyslexia to overcome learning difficulties can improve their self-esteem. Understanding how their brain functions when it comes to reading and writing can help to take the burden off your child if they have the mindset that something is wrong with them. A test can also highlight your child’s cognitive strengths, which can boost their self-esteem.
