At what age can you tell if a child has dyslexia?

Early indicators appear as young as age 4-5 (difficulty with rhyming, letter recognition, or sound awareness), but formal patterns typically become clear in grades 1-3 when reading instruction intensifies. The good news: early intervention produces the most dramatic results. Our assessment works for children ages 4-14.

No—and this is important. Many children who struggle with reading have never been formally diagnosed but show the same patterns of foundational skill gaps. Our assessment maps the specific processing differences your child has, regardless of whether they have a formal dyslexia label. If your child struggles with reading, we can help.

No. The goal is to develop the foundational skills your child needs to become an independent, confident reader. Most families see significant progress within 12-24 weeks of consistent practice. Once these neural pathways are built, they’re permanent—your child will have these skills for life.

Perfect—because our assessment doesn’t start with a label. We map the specific foundational skills (visual processing, auditory discrimination, phonological awareness, etc.) that your child is still developing. Whether or not dyslexia is the clinical term, if your child struggles with reading, they have gaps in these foundational areas that we can identify and address.

Schools provide valuable instruction, but they’re typically using group-based approaches and may not have time to address the foundational processing gaps underneath the reading struggle. Our programs develop the visual, auditory, and proprioceptive systems that reading builds upon—then you can work with your school’s reading instruction for even better results.

Most families notice changes within 2-3 weeks—often in confidence and willingness to try before measurable skill gains. Significant reading improvement typically appears within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. Your report includes week-by-week milestones so you know exactly what to expect.
