Learning Disorder (LD) Testing

Learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, can interfere with a student’s ability to learn and achieve academic success. At Silber Psychological Services, we provide Learning Disorder (LD) testing to assess and diagnose specific learning disabilities, allowing us to develop individualized educational plans that address each student's unique needs.

Who May Benefit from Learning Disorder Testing:

While this is not a comprehensive list, the following are some general signs that one could benefit from LD testing:

  • Students struggling in specific academic areas, such as reading, writing, or math
  • Children who seem to work harder than peers but still underperform academically
  • Students who are easily frustrated or discouraged by schoolwork
  • Children who have difficulty following multi-step directions or completing tasks
  • Hyperactivity, such as constant fidgeting or difficulty sitting still
  • Students who exhibit slow progress in reading or language development
  • Individuals suspected of having dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia

What Learning Disorder Testing Involves:

  • Initial Consultation and History
    We start by gathering a thorough history of the child’s academic performance, reviewing past report cards, teacher feedback, and any prior assessments. This helps us understand how the student has performed in school and identify areas of concern.
  • Cognitive and Academic Assessments
    The core of our testing includes standardized assessments that measure skills such as reading comprehension, written expression, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving. We also assess cognitive functions like working memory, processing speed, and auditory processing, which may affect a student’s ability to learn.
  • Diagnosing Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia
    Our testing can diagnose specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia (reading difficulties), dysgraphia (writing challenges), or dyscalculia (difficulty with math). Each diagnosis helps pinpoint where the student is struggling, allowing for targeted interventions.

Supporting Academic Success

Once a diagnosis is made, we provide recommendations for individualized educational plans (IEPs), 504 plans, or other school accommodations to support the student's academic progress. We also offer guidance on how to improve learning strategies at home, ensuring the student has the tools they need to succeed in their academic environment.
