Currently, the majority of Wisconsin public school districts are not trained to identify, remediate or diagnose dyslexia. In addition, medical practitioners (pediatricians and general practitioners) do not test for dyslexia, nor do they diagnose dyslexia.

This is a personal decision, and one that will depend upon your family’s unique situation and goals. Here are some of the benefits of having a dyslexia diagnosis.

● A dyslexia diagnosis gives clarity to something that is often confusing. It answers why learning has been a struggle.
● A dyslexia diagnosis is often the first step to improving a child's self-esteem. This is because the child learns that they are capable, but that they need to be taught differently. Using our process, your child will also learn about their strengths.
● A dyslexia diagnosis includes a comprehensive results report which contains recommendations for the best type of reading intervention as well as accommodations for homework and schoolwork. This should be shared with the school and is instrumental in getting everyone on the same page.
● A dyslexia diagnosis can help qualify your child for a 504 Service Plan. 504 Plans can help throughout elementary, secondary and post-secondary education. (* Diagnostic services do not guarantee a 504 Plan).
