Understanding Dyslexia and Giftedness (2e)

Are you concerned about your child’s academic performance or unique learning needs? At the Learning Evaluation Center, we specialize in testing and evaluation services to help identify and support children with dyslexia, giftedness, and other learning differences. In this post, we’ll explore the intersection of dyslexia and giftedness, and how testing and evaluation can provide valuable insights for twice-exceptional children.

Unraveling Dyslexia: What Parents Need to Know

Dyslexia is a common learning disorder that affects reading and language processing. Children with dyslexia may struggle with decoding words, spelling, and reading fluency despite having normal intelligence and adequate instruction. Recognizing the signs of dyslexia early is crucial for implementing effective interventions and support strategies.

Nurturing Giftedness: Embracing Your Child’s Unique Talents

Giftedness, on the other hand, refers to exceptional intellectual abilities and talents in specific areas such as academics, creativity, problem solving abilities and language skills. Gifted children often demonstrate advanced reasoning skills, a keen interest in complex topics, and a rapid rate of learning. Identifying and nurturing giftedness is essential for maximizing a child’s potential and fostering their love for learning.

Testing and Evaluation: Shedding Light on Twice-Exceptional Children
