Assessment

The Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) is a comprehensive assessment of reading skills and related processes. The FAR helps to determine if a child has characteristics of Dyslexia. The FAR also helps to identify appropriate interventions for your child. The FAR takes 1-2 hours to administer (depending on the age of your child).

The Test of Language Processing Skills (TAPS-4) is an assessment of language processing and comprehension skills across three intersecting areas: phonological processing, auditory memory, and listening comprehension. These skills are critical in the development of literacy skills. The TAPS-4 takes 1-2 hours to administer (depending on the age of your child).

The Test of Written Spelling (TWS-5) assesses a child’s ability to encode, or apply the phonetic code in written form. The TWS-5 can be administered in 20 minutes.

NOTE: There is no single test that can be used to diagnose an individual with Dyslexia. However, this battery of assessments is an excellent first step if you are trying to gather more information about your child’s challenges with reading and writing. The findings can help you decide if you would like to pursue a comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation.
