EVALUATION

Evaluation Process

Our dyslexia evaluation process effectively identifies the key components of literacy weaknesses contributing to an individual’s challenges with reading, spelling and writing; determining if their profile fits the definition of dyslexia.  

The objective of the evaluation is to determine why an individual is struggling with learning to read and spell and recognize what needs to be done to make significant progress with their literacy skills. 

This evaluation can begin as early as 5 ½ years old, but is necessary at any age if a student continues to struggle with learning to read and spell.  

It is never too late for identifying dyslexia, don’t wait for time to pass if your child is not progressing with reading, spelling and writing.


TUTORING

Structured Literacy Coaching  -  One-on-One Setting

Haley’s Hope offers one-on-one tutoring that greatly improves the reading, spelling and writing skills of children and adults with dyslexia. Our Structured Literacy Coaches are methodically trained in the Orton –Gillingham based Barton Reading and Spelling System™.

Our literacy coaches create an environment of reading success; instilling confidence and alleviating the many obstacles typically associated with dyslexia.


SUPPORT

Haley’s Hope delivers students and parents proven strategies and direction to adapt their specific learning style to their individual educational environment.

IEP and 504 Plan  Assistance
Time is dedicated to parents by means of assistance in developing specific accommodations and modifications for IEP’s or 504 Plans that will allow their student the opportunity to focus on their individual strengths for a successful educational career. Parents are then prepared with information to guide them through their school meetings in order to become their children biggest advocate. If requested, we will attend the IEP or 504 Plan meetings for additional support and guidance.

Academic Strategies
Dyslexia requires teaching the whole individual through a wide variety of strategies to provide them successful access to curriculum in order to become stronger independent learners. 

Adopting these life changing techniques to overcome the wide variety of challenges dyslexia presents takes patience and understanding from both the student and parent. Success in the classroom leads to better self-esteem and improved grades for all students.
