A formal diagnosis of dyslexia is not required before starting the Multisensory Reading and Spelling program. However, a diagnosis can be helpful in targeting specific needs and requesting accommodations from the school, such as additional time for tests.
Diagnosing dyslexia requires evaluation by a neurologist or licensed psychologist. Local testing resources include:
