Assessment

After the consultation, those who wish can receive an assessment focused on reading and writing. This will be conducted with the individual with Dyslexia. Starting in July 2024, we are also offering assessments in English.

Regarding the Japanese Assessment:

We objectively measure the speed, fluency, and accuracy of reading and writing, and compare it with the age average to determine the degree and areas of difficulty. The results are analyzed, and a report will be sent. This allows the individual to understand their situation and enables parents, teachers, and supporters to know specific learning methods and appropriate reasonable accommodations. An optional English vocabulary test can be conducted if needed (details can be explained during the consultation). If you have already taken other tests, you can choose the English vocabulary test only. Currently, we are conducting these assessments remotely via ZOOM.
