Book a Literacy Assessment
Deep dive into the individual strands of reading to understand the root of your child’s struggle and screen for dyslexia
What’s included in your assessment
Early identification and intervention
A reading assessment at the studio combs through the various strands of reading and writing difficulty. Just as important as their benchmark scores is Dr. Sullivan’s analysis of their errors to determine the nature of their struggle.
Personalized strategies and resources
The scores and error analysis provide a starting point for intervention. From there, Dr. Sullivan will outline the scope of the intervention plan. The tutor will carry out the plan and provide weekly feedback to parents.
Expertise & support from Dr. Sullivan
Dr. Sullivan is a licensed reading specialist, specializing in dyslexia. She has taught for over 20 years. Her knowledge of learning disabilities, local school systems, and curriculum choices will help you understand your own child’s learning journey.
Step 1
Book an Intake Call
Schedule a call with Dr. Sullivan to discuss your child’s needs and learn more about our services. After booking, you’ll receive a questionnaire to complete before your call.
Step 2

During your intake call, you’ll talk through your child’s learning history, current challenges, and any questions you have. Then, book a 90-minute in-person assessment.
Step 3
Review & Begin
Receive a written report and/or meet with Dr. Sullivan to review the results. From there, schedule tutoring sessions and begin your child’s personalized learning plan.
Why get an assessment?
Are you concerned about your child’s progress in school this year? Are you getting mixed messages from their teachers in school? Are you seeing signs of a learning disability? Are they reluctant to read to you or complete homework?
A reading assessment and dyslexia screening with Dr. Sullivan will help you untangle the behaviors you are seeing and the messaging you are receiving. She is an expert in getting to the essence of a reading problem and pointing parents in the right direction in terms of an intervention plan and navigating the school system.
What the assessment is not
This assessment is not diagnostic testing to determine special education eligibility. Nor is it a neuropsych evaluation. Rather, this assessment determines the exact skills your child has and does not have related to phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, spelling, and written expression. This assessment also helps us understand your child’s personality, temperament, and attitude towards reading and writing. We want to know them as a learner and as a person. We would love to read an IEP, special education testing from school, or neuropsych testing if you have them.

“He is excelling because of you.
Unlike many students who are struggling and showing (major and concerning) gaps in math learning, he is excelling and that is because of you. So, thank you! I am so appreciative of the time you dedicated, patience you offered, and learning you led over the past year. Your classes and time together were truly the bright spot of our week and they made such a difference!
