A diagnosis isn’t just a label, it’s a roadmap. 🚗
A good dyslexia assessment does more than say yes or no.
It helps answer why.
👉Why is reading so hard?
👉Where is the breakdown happening?
👉What kind of support will actually help?

When done properly, assessment gives you clarity, not confusion. It shines a light on your child’s strengths and shows the most effective way forward.

❌MYTH: “If they were smarter, they’d be able to read.”

✅TRUTH: Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence.

Your child can be bright, creative, and insightiul... and stil find reading hard.
It’s not about their potential it’s about how their brain processes language.

✍️ Handwriting is not outdated — it’s neuroscience in action.

✴️ Writing by hand is a full-body brain workout. It activates thinking, sensing, moving, and remembering — all at once. Each stroke engages fine motor control, sensory awareness, focused attention, and memory.

Typing is faster, but handwriting builds deeper neural connections and makes learning more lasting. It slows you down — in the best possible way — so your brain can truly absorb, not just record.

The new Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) are changing how we understand reading struggles. 📖

Traditional tests often focus only on outcomes, reading scores, spelling, comprehension.
The TOD looks deeper.
It helps uncover the why by exploring:
🔹 Phonological processing
🔹 Orthographic memory
🔹 Working memory and rapid naming
🔹 Language comprehension

That insight means we can tailor support to your child, not just their scores.

Check out the newest episode of Therapist Rising, by Hayley Kelly. 🎙️
Elise, accompanied by Alice, talks about what’s motivated her to create her online webinars and to explore what it really looks like to move beyond the 1:1 model and create programs that change lives.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1- Burnout can be a signal, not the end. Both Alice and Elise hit walls in their careers that forced them to look beyond the traditional therapy path. That pain became the nudge toward innovation.

2- Fear of judgment is universal but it’s survivable. Whether it was Elise worrying about peers judging her for charging for her knowledge, or Alice fearing regulatory trouble, both show that self-doubt doesn’t disqualify you.

3- Programs expand your reach without diluting your expertise. Dyslexia advocacy, ADHD-affirming practice, and OT supervision are now impacting parents, schools, and other clinicians, proof that your clinical skills are needed in new spaces.
