A child who believes in themselves again.
And a parent who finally knows what to do.
Imagine the homework fights are over. Your child stops saying they're dumb. You stop guessing, stop fighting the school, and finally hold a clear plan that tells you exactly what is going on and what to do next. That is what a full evaluation gives you. A complete picture of your child's reading, over Zoom by a licensed practitioner, with a written roadmap for home and school.
If any of these sound like you, a full evaluation is the right next step.
Your free screener flagged elevated risk
The WIAT-4 Dyslexia Index screening indicated moderate or high risk, and our team recommended moving forward.
You are on a waitlist somewhere else
You called for a neuropsych evaluation. They said 6 to 12 months. That is not an option.
Your child is struggling and you are tired of fighting with their school
You have been asking the school for help for a long time. You are done waiting. A formal evaluation gives you something they have to respond to.
Your child has been struggling for years
You have tried tutoring, OT, medication, and every intervention the school offers. Nothing is moving. The confidence is slipping.
Dyslexia runs in your family
You or a sibling struggled with reading. You are not going to wait for the school to figure it out this time.
You want a complete picture, not just a risk level
A screening tells you whether dyslexia is likely. A full evaluation tells you exactly what is happening and what your child needs.
The day you stop guessing, everything changes.
Picture the 7pm homework hour without the tears. Your child reads you a sentence and looks up proud, not defeated. You stop lying awake wondering if you are overreacting, because now you know, and you know exactly what to do about it.
- Your child learns their brain works differently, not broken. The "I'm dumb" stops.
- The nightly homework fight ends, because you finally know what actually helps.
- The school stops saying give it time. You hand them an evaluation they are required to review and consider.
- You stop guessing. You have a plan, the right next steps, and the names of who to call.
We always start with a screener. Here is why. (Unless you are already on a waitlist.)
Before recommending the Roadmap, we want to understand the full picture. The free screener tells us where to look so the right assessments are included and nothing is missed.
Free Dyslexia Risk Screener
A live WIAT-4 screener over Zoom with same-session results. If your child qualifies, you book the full evaluation right after.
The Confident Reader Roadmap
Full standardized testing over Zoom by a licensed practitioner. Our goal is your complete written Roadmap within one week.
Results Consultation
We walk you through your child's complete Roadmap, answer every question, and hand you the specific plan for home and school. Your next step gets booked on the call.
Already on a waitlist somewhere else? Skip the screener. Book the Confident Reader Roadmap directly. We built this for families who cannot wait any longer.
Everything your child needs. Nothing you have to chase down later.
The specific assessments depend on your child's age, background, and what the screener reveals. Your practitioner selects the right combination for your child. This may include WIAT-4, CTOPP-2, GORT-5, CELF-5, TILLS, or TOD depending on what they need.
Formal written evaluation
A written report identifying characteristics consistent with dyslexia. With the documentation your school and specialists need to act.
Parent report in plain language
A written report that explains what was found in language you can actually understand. No scores without explanation. No clinical jargon without translation.
School report with IEP and 504 recommendations
A formal written report that includes specific recommendations for school accommodations. Your school can use this when making placement decisions, initiating their own evaluation, or reviewing IEP and 504 eligibility.
Clear action plan
Specific next steps for your child's profile. What to do first, who to call, and what to ask for. Not a generic list.
Specialist referrals
When OT, speech therapy, specialized tutoring, or other support is indicated, we tell you who to call and what to ask for.
Results consultation
Same-day results come with your free screener, so you know right away whether the full Roadmap is warranted. For the Roadmap itself, your practitioner walks you through the complete findings on a dedicated follow-up call once testing is done.
This is what some parts of the report will look like.
A clear written report, around 15 pages, drawing from validated tools like the WIAT-4, CTOPP-2, TILLS, GORT-5, and TOD. Most families have it within a week of testing.
Scaled scores, mean 10, SD 3. Green is the average range and up. Dots mark each subtest score; bars show the 95% confidence interval.
| Subtest | Scaled | %ile | Descriptor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elision | 6 | 9 | Below Average |
| Blending Words | 7 | 16 | Below Average |
| Nonword Repetition | 3 | 1 | Very Poor |
| Rapid Digit Naming | 10 | 50 | Average |
Your child's strengths
- Sentence-level writing, 95th percentile
- Story retelling, 68th percentile
- Listening comprehension, 60th percentile
School accommodations
- Extended time, about 1.5x, on reading tasks
- Text-to-speech for grade-level text
- Do not penalize spelling in content subjects
Your child has real strengths, especially in spoken language and sentence-level writing. The barrier is not understanding language, it is getting to the words on the page. With the right structured reading support, this is workable, and the plan tells you exactly where to start.
Do not worry. Your practitioner walks you through what every part means, in plain language, on your results call.
Two sessions and a results call.
Booked together from the start.
When you book, both testing sessions go on the calendar right away, so the whole evaluation is scheduled from day one. Everything happens over Zoom from home. Nothing to prepare. Nothing to study.
Session one
Your practitioner conducts about an hour of standardized testing over Zoom. The assessments are chosen ahead of time based on your child's age, background, and what the screener revealed.
At the end, your practitioner spends about ten minutes going over the first results with you. If the picture is already complete, this may be all your child needs.
Session two
If more is needed to complete the picture, the second session finishes the remaining assessments over Zoom, just like the first.
After testing is complete, we book your results call. Your practitioner walks you through the complete findings, the written report, and your specific plan for home and school, and answers every question.
Will my school accept this report?
Yes. Schools use private evaluation reports. They may run their own testing alongside ours, but they cannot dismiss documented findings from a licensed practitioner.
Our report gives you a formal written evaluation: what was evaluated, what was found, and what your child needs. Parents who bring that into an IEP or 504 meeting are in a different position than parents who bring concerns alone. The school cannot tell you to wait and see when a licensed practitioner has already documented what is happening.
Under federal law (34 CFR §300.502), if you share a private evaluation, the IEP team must review and consider it at a meeting. "Must consider" means they cannot table it, dismiss it, or pretend it does not exist. Use it to start the school's process, speed up their timeline, or hold them accountable. Your child has waited long enough.
Initiates the school's own evaluation process
A formal report from a licensed practitioner is harder for a school to table than a parent's concern. It shows a documented, evidence-based need.
Strengthens your position in IEP and 504 meetings
A licensed specialist's written findings are harder for a school team to dismiss than a parent's observations alone. You walk in with documentation.
Gives specialists a complete picture
Tutors, OT, speech therapists, and reading specialists can use our report to understand your child's profile without starting from zero.
In Wisconsin, diagnosis testing runs about $3,000. First you wait months for an appointment. Then you test. Then you wait another 30 to 60 days for the report. Our goal is your full written Roadmap within one week.
- Full standardized testing over Zoom
