Adult Services

Clearly difficulties in reading do not disappear with age. Government statistics show 25 million Americans, or one in ten are functionally illiterate. The primary cause is untreated dyslexia. Difficulty with reading has lifelong repercussions. Literacy is a fundamental component of participation in our society. Reading difficulties impact occupational choices, and many individuals with dyslexia experience difficulty with acquiring and keeping a job and may work at a level that is lower than their intellectual or educational ability. Promotions often raise the level of text-related work, leading to stress, embarrassment and fear.

If an adult or college age student has never received an evaluation or diagnosis of their literacy and learning abilities, this is our advised starting point. Evaluations take approximately 6-8 hours and are spread over two testing days. A full report is provided and a feedback appointment is set to discuss findings, appropriate treatment, and possible work or school-based adaptations, support and accommodations. In addition to targeted specialized reading and writing instruction, provided by an instructor who is highly trained to successfully teach individuals with dyslexia, there are many technological tools available to assist individuals with reading, spelling and note-taking. With proper evaluations, targeted instruction and accommodations, adolescents and adults can achieve their goals, and make their own unique contributions to the workforce and society.
