Sometimes recognition arrives sideways: your child is diagnosed with dyslexia and you realize you have quietly worked around the same thing your whole life. Dyslexia Testing in Sun Prairie, WI is here for children, teens, and the adults who see themselves in the description. No referral is necessary to reach out.
From the first conversation to the feedback session, one licensed psychologist stays with your evaluation, and an in house learning disability specialist steps in to run the reading specific testing so nothing gets lost between hands. We anchor each case in a cognitive and executive function baseline, then build outward toward your specific reading concerns. Whether the reader is a first grader or a grandparent, we evaluate every age and screen for the conditions dyslexia tends to bring with it.
Letter sounds are slow to click, similar words get swapped, and the same word may be spelled two ways on one page. A child might guess from the first letter, avoid reading aloud, and clearly be brighter than their reading is letting on.
Reading stays effortful, texts take ages to finish, and spelling is inconsistent at best. Many teens quietly rely on audiobooks and memory, and the frustration deepens as hard work keeps failing to bring them level with classmates.
Reading aloud gets sidestepped, paragraphs get read twice to sink in, and work that involves reading brings a familiar anxiety. For many adults the whole thing only comes into focus once their own child is evaluated and the pieces finally fit.
Everything opens with an hour long clinical interview where your psychologist collects a full history of reading and language development, from early milestones to present day frustrations. This conversation shapes which dyslexia specific assessments will most accurately capture what is happening.
Your psychologist then puts together a personalized battery that combines cognitive and executive function measures with reading and phonological processing tasks delivered by our in house learning disability specialist. Expect somewhere between 2 and 6 hours of in person testing over one or two days, along with questionnaires for you and for teachers or family members close to your learning.
The psychologist and the learning disability specialist merge their findings into one detailed diagnostic report, covering cognitive ability, phonological processing, reading fluency, comprehension, and any co occurring conditions, such as ADHD or other learning differences, that surfaced.
About two to three weeks afterward you return for feedback, where your psychologist walks you through the diagnosis in everyday language and provides individualized recommendations, including reading intervention strategies, accommodations, assistive technology, and next steps suited to your life.
No. A referral is never part of the process at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can reach out directly, for any reason at all, and we will only coordinate with a school or another provider if that is what you want us to do.
Absolutely. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and this is one of the most common paths to our door. The evaluation is tailored to your stage of life and to the places reading matters most now, whether that is your job, further schooling, or daily life.
Not at all. Slow reading has many causes; dyslexia is a distinct difference in how written language is processed, unrelated to effort or intelligence. A formal evaluation distinguishes genuine dyslexia from instructional gaps and other factors and shows precisely where reading is breaking down.
Because reading disorders warrant focused, specialized measures. Your psychologist handles the cognitive and executive function baseline and screening for related conditions, while our in house learning disability specialist administers the reading specific testing. Both take part in feedback, so the result is thorough rather than a single hurried opinion.
Yes. The report captures specific findings and recommendations that schools, colleges, and employers can use to set up an IEP, a 504 plan, extended time, and assistive technology. It is written in plain language so it is easy to hand over and put into action.
Just call (608) 396 4830. You do not need a referral or any paperwork to start; we will answer your questions and get you scheduled at a time that suits your family.
