Initials:
Cost $120.00 assessment only; $240.00 assessment and report
The initial assessment is a mandatory aspect of beginning tutoring at CLDC for reading and primary mathematics. This enables us to create an individual plan for your child and work with the tutor to ensure they are aware of any diagnosis, the programs to use, and any additional activities required.
This can be written as a report that gives a detailed picture of the student’s current abilities. This report is often used to help with developing an ILP or to share with the school.
Early Reading Assessment:
Cost $300.00 (for ages 5-7 years)
This assessment is designed for younger students and focuses on addressing the underpinning language processes that young children need for reading, phoneme knowledge, early sight word reading, handwriting and spelling. A dyslexia screener can be added if there is a family history of dyslexia to further pinpoint the reason for reading difficulties. This assessment comes with a full report.
Dyslexia Updates:
Cost $350.00
This assessment updates an existing diagnosis for the BSSS or University accommodations. As dyslexia is a lifelong condition, repeating assessments is unnecessary if there is already a diagnosis. This update provides additional accommodations and strategies for tertiary education or the workplace.
Dyslexia Screening:
Cost $850.00 (for ages 7- Adult)
The screening process involves short assessments of all the areas you’d expect a dyslexic student or adult to display both in areas of weakness and strength. The norm referenced tests are supplemented with additional screeners to form a more complete picture of the student or adult.
The screening option is a good one if the family or person is unsure if dyslexia is a possibility.
The Screener comes with a report outlining the findings with a list of strategies for each area of difficulty for the classroom teacher, parent or adult.
If there are indicators of dyslexia and the family or person wishes to move forward to completing the full assessment, the cost of the screener minus $150.00 is deducted from the cost of a full assessment.
Dyslexia Assessment:
Cost $1600.00 (for ages 7- Adult)
A full range of language-based assessments are used to determine the reason for the student’s struggles. This includes Dyslexia, Mixed Type reading or a Compensator pattern of difficulty. This is a comprehensive assessment that will pinpoint deficits across the domains of reading, spelling, writing and comprehension.
The report provides a diagnosis, accommodations required, recommendations and specific strategies for each student. These strategies can be used by the student, parent or classroom teacher to support the student’s learning given their particular learning profile. The recommendations are designed to remove some of the barriers to improving learning and to support intervention.
Extra information outlining other ideas for the classroom teacher and basic fact sheets on any disorders found are provided to the family.
Dysgraphia Assessment:
Cost $950.00 (for ages 7- Adult)
The dysgraphia assessment is a comprehensive written expression assessment that looks for Graphomotor, Dyslexia and Executive Dysgraphia. Many students display/ed delayed reading when younger, so a dyslexia screener can be added to ensure that mild dyslexia is not present.
Dyscalculia Assessment:
Cost $950.00 (for ages 7-Adult)
The dyscalculic assessment covers a number of areas that assess mathematical achievement both timed and untimed, mathematical behaviour particular to dyscalculics, cognitive learning style for mathematics, anxiety and working memory. This assessment comes with a report that details the student’s results, a description of each area assessed, accommodations required, recommendations and strategies for the classroom teacher and parent.
Dysgraphia Assessment and Dyslexia Screener:
$1400.00
