INTRODUCING: DIAGNOSING DYSLEXIA
Gain the confidence and skills you need to increase your IMPACT and your INCOME.
What is Diagnosing Dyslexia?
Diagnosing Dyslexia is an online course designed to teach you all the skills you need in order to be able to provide an educational diagnosis to identify dyslexia in students who are in the second half of 1st grade through 8th grade.
Participants will work through modules at their own pace, practice with actual student work, and complete assessments to earn certification.
The program is specifically designed for teachers, tutors, and practitioners who have worked with students with dyslexia for at least two years, and there will be a vetting process to ensure participants are a good fit for the program.
"The course was amazing! I just completed it last week but already it has been helpful and useful for my tutoring business. The course was easy to follow and understand. The Module layout makes the course very organized. The recordings were clear and easy to follow. I’m so glad I was able to participate! This certification has already opened opportunities for me and the communities I serve."

The Stories Below Show the Powerful IMPACT of Identifying Dyslexia!
Sign Up for this program, and be part of that transformation.
I recently assessed a 40 year old woman who is courageously attempting to return to college for the 4th time. Previously she did not even suspect dyslexia and never got one accommodation in college. She struggled and dropped out each time, believing that she just wasn’t smart enough to be a college graduate. After the diagnosis and getting more information, she now has tools and the self-confidence to make this dream a reality.
Let me tell you my favorite assessment story: This was the first child I ever assessed formally. He was in 8th grade. Back in 3rd grade, his teacher told him he was being lazy and not putting forth the effort to succeed in school. She also would call him out in front of his peers and ask, “Are you trying to be dumb? You know the answer to this, we discussed this just yesterday.” This child started frequently wetting his pants and not wanting to go to school. In 4th grade, the parents were starting to get really concerned, but the teacher said the boy was getting A’s and B’s and was fine. They just needed to calm down. He was assessed and diagnosed with dyslexia in 8th grade, and later went on to get his associates’ degree at the same time as his high school diploma, and during a global pandemic. This child is MY SON. - Joy
A 72 year old bookstore owner who always struggled through school and in life, but never suspected dyslexia until recently, asked us to do the testing with her. After the diagnosis and the whole process was done, she emailed me to say “Thank you for teaching me about dyslexia and that I am not dumb. I truly believed my whole life that I was not as smart as other people. I think that this may be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my whole life.”
