What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects an individual’s ability to read, spell, and decode words accurately and fluently. It is neurological in origin and typically characterized by difficulties with phonological components of language, independent of intelligence. These challenges can extend beyond reading to impact writing, organization, and other academic areas.
Your Dyslexia Assessment Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation to discuss your concerns, academic history, and any observed difficulties. This session allows us to understand the scope of your needs and determine the most appropriate assessment plan. We gather essential background information to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We conduct a thorough psychological evaluation using standardized tests to assess reading, writing, phonological processing, and other cognitive abilities. This multi-faceted assessment helps identify specific areas of strength and weakness. Our goal is to provide a clear diagnostic picture of your learning profile.
Diagnosis & Feedback
Following the evaluation, we provide a detailed report outlining the findings, including a diagnosis if applicable, and clear explanations. A feedback session will be scheduled to discuss the results, answer your questions, and ensure you understand the implications of the assessment. We aim for complete clarity regarding your learning profile.
Personalized Support Plan
Based on the assessment, we collaborate with you to develop a personalized support plan tailored to your unique learning style and needs. This may include recommendations for academic accommodations, specific interventions, and strategies to improve reading and writing skills. Our focus is on empowering you with effective tools for success.

Testimonials
I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
