“Teaching all essential components of language, reading, and writing takes time. There are no shortcuts for overcoming huge and chronic gaps in skill development and reading experience.” — Louisa C. Moats, Ed.D., “Teaching Adolescents to Read”

Dr. Moats reminds us that supporting adolescent readers requires patience, precision, and evidence-aligned practice.

The Reading League’s Adolescent Reading Intervention Evaluation Guidelines offer a clear framework to help educators and leaders make informed, evidence-aligned decisions about adolescent reading interventions.

⬇️ Explore this resource in The Reading League Compass and learn how to make data-informed decisions that meet adolescent readers where they are.

Believe it or not, the end of the first semester of school is almost here.

That means school assignments, final exams, and project deadlines are looming large for children who struggle with organization.

If your child tends to procrastinate until the last minute:

🍂Thanksgiving Break can be the perfect time to catch their breath (and yours!) and build a little confidence while also getting a small jump start on this last 2025 push.

For example, even something as simple as using the calendar and notes app on their tablet or phone during a road trip can help them start to feel more organized and prepared for the days ahead.

Private Evaluations vs. School Testing

You need answers.

Which option is best for you? We can help shine a light on a few of the biggest differences, such as:

🧠 Control: With private testing, you are in control of who sees what information vs. the school system being in charge of the process.

🧠 Level of Testing: School evaluations are focused on finding “the how” while private evaluations take a deeper dive to uncover “the what and the why.”

🧠 Experience: Private evaluations are administered by a psychologist who is an expert in the field of psychological assessments. School testing is typically provided by guidance counselors and IEP teachers who have a myriad of obligations within a school environment.

🧠 Cost: School testing is covered by school funding, while Private Evaluations have varied out-of-pocket rates.

We understand this is a big decision and are here to talk through ALL your options. Schedule a consultation today to learn which path is best for your family.

It’s easy to see that a child who experienced a traumatic event might need therapy to help process it.

But therapy isn’t only for trauma.

Kids feel things in a BIG way and often need help understanding those feelings: from grief and loss to temper tantrums.

At Psychological Diagnostics of NY, we are here to hold their hands through the toughest moments, and all the everyday challenges too.

If you are considering therapy for your child, reach out to us on our website. We are happy to answer your questions.

Our team is here today, and every other day, to provide support for when those uncertainties loom overhead.

In the meantime . . . stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the treats!!🍭

Dyslexia Awareness Tip ❤️

When supporting a child with Dyslexia, one of the most important steps you can take is:

✨Early Identification✨

WHY?

Evidence-based, targeted reading instruction is much more effective with better academic outcomes if a child receives this instruction in kindergarten or first grade, rather than delaying that instruction until later in elementary school.

The biggest take away?

If you think there is an issue, TRUST YOUR GUT, and have an expert evaluate your child for dyslexia so that you can appropriately advocate for him/her. No one knows your child better than you!

We are here to walk this journey with you. Schedule a consultation on our website to get started.
