What if your child
isn't behind.
They're just dyslexic.

Most families spend years searching for answers while their child falls further behind. We give you the answers, the identification, and a real plan, so you can stop guessing and start helping.

Sound familiar?

Is your child struggling
with any of these?

My child says "I'm dumb" or "I hate reading" We fight about homework almost every night Anxious or stressed every school morning Works twice as hard, but still falls behind Has lost confidence or excitement about school Avoids reading or homework whenever possible Doesn't want to go to school anymore Gets frustrated or shuts down during reading Won't test until 2nd grade, but she's already behind Tried hearing tests, eye tests, and OT. Nothing changed. ADHD meds helped focus, but reading scores didn't move Scored higher in fall than spring on the same test Friday spelling tests end in tears every week 3-4 hours of extra work at home just to keep up School said she'd catch up. She never did. A year and a half of intervention. Barely any movement.

starting point,
not the finish line.

Our Mission

The only bad thing about
dyslexia is not knowing.

I grew up dyslexic in a single-parent household. I fought with my mom over homework almost every night. I fell further behind every year. The message I absorbed was that I was not smart enough. My confidence suffered and I never caught up like they said I would.

Think of your child's brain like a gas tank. When all the gas goes to sounding out each word, there is nothing left to understand what they just read. That is why they work twice as hard as everyone else and still fall behind. It is not effort. It is not intelligence. It is that nobody has figured out how their brain works yet.

I did not find out I had dyslexia until I was 22. The moment I did, everything fell into place. Every homework fight. Every bad grade. Every time I thought I was just not smart enough. It all made sense. And it all could have been different.

The only bad thing about dyslexia is not knowing. Once you know, you can do something about it. That is why the screener is free. That is why we built this. No child should have to wait 22 years for an answer that changes everything.

The Vision

What life looks like
when you finally know.

Right now, every day feels like a fight. Here is what changes when you have answers.

What families tell us before
What changes after
Your child says "I'm dumb"

They work twice as hard as their classmates and still fall behind. They have started to believe the problem is them.

They finally have an explanation

An evaluation tells your child their brain works differently, not that they are broken. That one shift changes how they see themselves.

Homework is a nightly war

Reading practice ends in tears, arguments, or shutdown. You dread 3pm as much as they do.

You know what actually helps

With a formal evaluation comes a specific action plan. No more guessing. You know exactly which strategies match how their brain learns.

You've been fighting the school for months

You know something is wrong. The school keeps saying wait and see. Your child keeps falling further behind while you fight for help.

The school has to listen

Under federal law (34 CFR §300.502), once you share a private evaluation, the school is legally required to review it. You stop asking. They start acting.

You are on a 12-month waitlist

You called for a neuropsych evaluation. They gave you a date a year from now. Your child keeps falling behind while you wait.

Answers as early as tomorrow

The free screener takes 30-45 minutes over Zoom. Our team walks you through the results on the same call. No waitlist. No guessing.

You don't know what's wrong or what to do

You've tried tutoring, OT, hearing tests, and medication. Something is still not clicking. You don't know what to try next.

You have a real plan

A full evaluation tells you exactly what is happening, which interventions match your child's profile, and who to call next. Not a guess. A roadmap.

FAQ

Questions?
We've got answers.

If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out directly. We're happy to talk through your situation before you book anything.

info@dyslexiaevals.com →

Is the screener really free?

Yes. No catch, no commitment. The questionnaire is free, the Zoom screener is free, and the results conversation is free. We do it because every family deserves a starting point.

What happens after I fill out the questionnaire?

You get an instant risk level. If it flags a concern, we invite you to book a free Zoom screener. No pressure, no cost to continue.

What's the difference between a screener and a full evaluation?

A screener tells you whether characteristics consistent with dyslexia are likely. A full evaluation tells you exactly what is going on, to what degree, and what to do about it. Schools and IEP teams require a full evaluation before they can act.

What comes with the Confident Reader Roadmap?

A parent report in plain language, a formal school report for IEP or 504 plans, a specific action plan, referrals to PT/OT or other specialists if needed, at-home resources, and a dedicated review call.

Who conducts the evaluations?

Free screeners are administered by a qualified practitioner. The Confident Reader Roadmap is conducted by a licensed practitioner whose reports meet the standards Wisconsin schools and support programs require.

What ages do you serve?

Kindergarten through age 21. Reading struggles at any age are worth taking seriously. The screener is always a good place to start.

Is this a clinical diagnosis?

No. We provide an educational identification of characteristics consistent with dyslexia, not a clinical medical diagnosis. Our written report documents what is getting in the way of your child's reading and what to do about it, and meets the standards Wisconsin schools and IEP or 504 teams need to act.

What is the Clarity Guarantee?

Complete your child's evaluation and sit down with us for the results meeting. If you do not walk away with a clear understanding of what is going on with your child's reading and a specific written plan you can act on and hand to their school, we refund you in full.

Every month without answers is another month of falling behind and another month of confidence slipping away. The research is clear that the earlier the right instruction starts, the better. Waiting is the one thing that actually costs your child.
