Top 5 Reasons
 to get evaluated at DIA:

#1  DIA's evaluations can uncover the underlying reason why a person is struggling in reading, writing, or  mathematics.  We don't simply provide "scores", we evaluate specifically WHY those scores are being obtained. This is the only way to truly identify  root causes and understand how to most effectively create an intervention plan.
#2  DIA's evaluations, though more extensive than the majority of private testing centers, are typically half the cost. 
#3 DIA's process is timely. The total time involved is typically 3 to 4 weeks. This is a fraction of the time for typical school or private evaluations which typically take months. 
#4 DIA's can evaluations lead directly to a detailed therapy intervention plan to specifically address the clients needs. Our plans to well beyond typical "individualized plans", by specifically identifying specific techniques and therapies that will be employed to help the client make maximum progress towards fluency and retention.
#5 DIA can also present our results directly to a school (or workplace) to help them understand what exactly the issues and root causes are and what they can do via accommodations to help.

Tid-Bits you Should Know.


* According to numerous national studies, Special Education reading programs provide little to no increase in a child's rate of reading growth - meaning they are generally ineffective.  

* Short term, quick-fix programs measured in weeks don't produce long-term results. Effective remediation programs are measure in months or years, not weeks. 

* Self-paced computer programs can't teach a child to overcome their difficulties.

* Arbitrary individualized goals found in school IEP's are NOT the same as individualized achievement plans that detail HOW a child will improve their skills. In general, IEP goals are of little benefit to a student.

* Did you know you can RECORD your IEP meetings? Do it and get better results!

Comprehensive Evaluations


Because the symptoms of Dyslexia and AD/HD-I (Inattentive Type, also known as ADD) can be very similar, it is important to test for both conditions to ensure a proper testing conclusion. In fact, since 30 to 40% of people with Dyslexia also have AD/HD (and visa-versa), it is important to determine if the two conditions are co-existing so that the proper remediation plan can be implemented.
