The screening for dyslexia...
is a series of several oral and written exercises, some of which are standardized & normed, that enable the screener to determine if a client has dyslexia or not, how severe it is, what his or her various strengths and weaknesses are within the diagnosis, what remedial help is needed, and finally, what accommodations are needed
in school and elsewhere.
The full, written report for a dyslexia diagnosis...
is a 12 to 15 page concisely written and typed document that summarizes the
client's educational history, analyzes the results of the screening, and makes specific recommendations for remedial help & accommodations based on the findings, as they pertain to a diagnosis of dyslexia. The report also includes around 10 pages of raw testing result attachments, with commentary, for a total of up to around 25 pages.

The tutoring for dyslexics is an Orton-Gillingham method, the highly respected
Barton Reading and Spelling System, done one-to-one.
Individualized interaction is needed to progress the client as fast as possible. (I do not do group tutoring.) I am doing remedial tutoring to catch the client up in reading; it is serious business. It is highly specialized using multiple senses at the same time. Progress is incredible to watch.
Specific skills are learned.
Reading becomes more natural. Confidence is gained.
Self-esteem is repaired.
If clients continue to read after leaving HFR, reading will become even stronger, and the results
are permanent.
My clients become lifelong readers and can lead
normal lives.
