The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) has recently revised their formal definition of the complexity of dyslexia, the ways it manifests uniquely from person to person, and the foundational influence of oral language and other
neurobiological factors in literacy development. It confirms that children with dyslexia struggle because of brain-based differences not because of a lack of effort, motivation, or cognitive ability.
Given the far-reaching impact of dyslexia on a child’s learning, self-confidence, and emotional well-being, it is essential to fully understand what each child’s profile looks like—since no two presentations of dyslexia are exactly alike. A comprehensive evaluation that examines not only reading
but also the full range of neurocognitive processes is vital. Such an approach helps clarify the unique nature of a child’s dyslexia and guides the most effective interventions.
At CCNS, we conduct comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations that conceptualize dyslexia as a broad neurodevelopmental profile encompassing far more than reading performance alone. Our evaluations examine the interplay of linguistic, cognitive, and emotional factors that contribute to each child’s learning challenges and identify their inherent strengths—informing interventions that are both evidence-based and individually tailored.
If your child is struggling with reading, our comprehensive evaluations can help uncover why—and guide the right path forward.
