Julie has been trained by Susan Barton of the Barton Spelling and Reading Program to administer and interpret comprehensive dyslexia screening assessments.  Dyslexia screening is not a clinical diagnosis, however, it does provide extensive insight on your child’s likelihood of having dyslexia.  Dyslexia screening involves several assessments that measure:

• Phonological awareness

• Auditory memory and discrimination

• Decoding skills

• Writing skills

• Handwriting

• Reading ability

• Comprehension

Dyslexia is like a puzzle and there are many parts to determining if you or your child may have dyslexia.  Once the assessments have been completed, you will receive a comprehensive written report that outlines the findings of the assessments, provides examples, determines the likelihood of dyslexia and recommendations for instruction and school supports.
