Adult Dyslexia Testing: Comprehensive Evaluations & Support for Adults

Adult Dyslexia Testing

Whole Mind Psychological Services provides comprehensive Adult Dyslexia Testing and evidence-based evaluations to help adults understand reading challenges, learning patterns, and cognitive strengths. Our evaluations are designed to identify how dyslexia or other learning differences may impact academic, professional, and everyday experiences while providing practical recommendations to support success.

An Adult Dyslexia Evaluation can help identify:
Difficulty reading fluently or understanding written information
Challenges with spelling, writing, or organizing thoughts on paper
Taking longer than expected to read, process, or complete written tasks
Difficulty learning new information that involves reading or written material
Challenges remembering details, instructions, or information that has been read
Patterns of learning differences that may have been present since childhood
Strengths and strategies that can support more effective learning and performance

We help adults better understand whether dyslexia or a related learning difference may be affecting their daily life, education, or workplace performance. Through a comprehensive evaluation process, we identify individual learning patterns and provide personalized recommendations that fit how each person processes information.

With the right understanding and support, adults with dyslexia can build confidence, develop effective strategies, and use their strengths to succeed in academic, professional, and personal settings. Understanding how you learn is the first step toward creating meaningful progress.

Rhonda M.

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She was professional and diligent in meeting the needs of our schools. Michelle hit the road running and was instrumental in ensuring that our schools remained compliant with state and federal regulations. Her services are highly recommended, and I hope I get the chance to work with her in the future.

Colleague

What sets Michelle apart is how she presents complex findings in a way that families truly understand. I’ve sat in meetings where parents arrived anxious and overwhelmed, and left feeling informed, reassured, and empowered. She has a rare ability to balance clinical depth with warmth and clarity.
