Dyslexia, Dysgraphia & Learning Disability Testing
Clear answers for children who struggle with reading, writing, math, or academic confidence.
Precision Educational Diagnostics provides targeted academic evaluations for children and teens with suspected dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or related learning differences. Evaluations identify the skills behind academic struggles and provide practical recommendations for instruction, intervention, and school support.
Understanding Learning Differences
Learning differences can affect how a child reads, writes, understands numbers, completes assignments, or keeps up with grade-level expectations. Some children work very hard but still fall behind. Others may appear capable in conversation but struggle when asked to read independently, write clearly, or solve math problems.
A learning disability assessment helps identify why a child is struggling, not just where they are struggling. The goal is to give families a clear picture of their child’s academic needs and the next steps that can help.

What the Dyslexia, Dysgraphia & Learning Disability Testing Process Looks Like
What the Evaluation Includes
This targeted academic-focused evaluation is designed to identify reading, writing, and math-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and related academic learning differences.

- Reading skills such as phonological processing, decoding, reading fluency, and reading comprehension.
- Writing skills such as spelling, written expression, sentence structure, organization, and academic writing.
- Math skills such as calculation, math reasoning, number sense, and problem-solving.
- Related skills such as working memory, processing speed, attention, organization, and executive functioning may also be examined when they affect academic performance.
Educational Recommendations & Intervention Planning
Families receive clear, individualized, research-based recommendations based on the child’s learning profile. These recommendations may help guide instruction, tutoring, intervention planning, and support at home and school.
The report is designed to be understandable and useful, so parents can see what their child needs and why those supports matter.
School Accommodations & Support
When appropriate, findings may support educationally relevant academic disability determinations. Recommendations may also help families discuss school-based supports, intervention needs, IEP or 504 considerations, classroom accommodations, and academic planning.
The goal is to give parents clear information they can use when working with teachers, school teams, tutors, and other professionals.
